The issue is called the “Jubilee Series”. They were noted and “Gazelles”, and “Sables”, and “Sables-Barguzins” in a variety of body styles.

For the anniversary, cars in Nizhny Novgorod dressed up. It turned out to be a combination of a small facelift, special equipment and design changes, which may soon appear on ordinary cars.
The first thing that catches your eye, of course, is the silver radiator grill. Normal is black. Cars or cabs of only spectacular and very popular color among our motorists are “wet asphalt”. In the anniversary series, fog lights were immediately installed on cars, and heated exterior mirrors were installed. Well, so that the car also looked more solid, on the Sables narrow wheels 175/75 R16 were replaced with tires 185/75 R16. These go as standard only on the Barguzin vans. Updated discs. They became silver. The paint with which they are coated, according to factory workers, should better resist corrosion. And they also covered the wheel rims with dark caps. Perhaps this was already superfluous - ordinary whites are in no way inferior in quality, but the designers decided here to designate the anniversary series.
Capacities in the "Sable" is enough. But access to the upper niche is difficult. The factory needs to work with a lock

By the way, the onboard “Gazelles” were also overwhelmed: the aluminum board was light and stainless, and the tent was raised above the usual to 1.8 meters. I can walk there with my head held high.
Mindful of the severe frosts that have caused trouble for drivers in the past three years, the Gazovans equipped the cars with new 85 A batteries. h instead of the previous 75. As practice shows, a starter with such a battery cheerfully rotates the crankshaft of a gasoline engine even at frosts below 30. On the anniversary series, there is a world leader - Cummins ISF 2.8 turbodiesel. The designers claim that 85 A. in the cold it will be just right for him - he’ll scroll. The regular independent heater Webasto will help him in this. If only the diesel fuel in the tank does not freeze!
Drivers will also be pleased with the large washer reservoir. Now it is 5-liter and cast in place in the niche of the front wing. It does not interfere and does not take up too much space, as it was before. Since June, such a tank began to be put on all GAZ models.
Lighting in the cabin became better exactly twice. Instead of one lampshade in the jubilee series, there are two of them (six in a minibus), although I would like to get a greater light output from each of them.
Webasto's independent heater is controlled from a dashboard. In winter, with this “stove” diesel will cope with any frost

The final chord in the series is powerful, you can’t say anything - regular cruise control. A piece for Nizhny Novgorod vans and trucks is useful and convenient. In the engine control system, the Americans initially provided such a function. Nizhny Novgorod could only bring control to the steering wheel. Which they did.
But the most important gift in this holiday series is the price of the car. It is slightly more expensive than an ordinary without the indicated options. If you equip a simple car in the presented version, then the cost will be incomparably higher than the anniversary car.
