LoggyDriver Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 A Ural 4320 box in "as new" condition would be nice, I do love that V8 diesel.:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulob1 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 no vehicles today just organising and meetings...those done now and tomorrow off to see the trucks...then the skots then the star 66 and 266 and maybe just maybe tatra 813's hope to buy a goodish gaz 69 tomorrow too...

paulob1 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 okay just missed the last brdm being sold, will talk to the guys about spares though, the owner has a pristine brdm 1 so I am sure he can get spares...I have fallen for Star 660...full diff locks petrol engine from around the 60/70's...not very fast but looks as if it will be great in the mud... Ural 375d... and a star 266 with diesel engine, this is a really modern trruck but am worried about having to fit a tacho and side bars in the UK...really dont want to have to do that...at what age do you have to have these fitted for the MOT...anyone know I have seen a few skots, nothing very good...hoping to find more..and have a man with four 813's that look as if they have been worked very hard so may get them very cheap... Am very interested in the sp 122 guns they have and the galil missile carrier....not bad prices but i haven started the proper negotiations yet...and delivery to the Uk is a big cost..makes cheap vehicles not cheap anymore...but we are having a good deal of fun playing and looking, have loads of photos will post them when I get back...

LoggyDriver Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I think the under run law came in for vehicles post 1984, don't quote me on it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulob1 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 thats good news as the two urals are 1984/1983 models...i really do not want to fit tachos and side safety bars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoggyDriver Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 thats good news as the two urals are 1984/1983 models...i really do not want to fit tachos and side safety bars... It's all down to the person you get at VOSA if you are going the test route. I've spoke to several examiners from VOSA and they all have different views on the subject. A mate who is a copper owned a Bedford MJ for 12 years and sold it last year because the test centre insisted he fitted under run bars, rear bumpers and tacho. His was a cargo though and down rated and tested every year. He said it wasn't economical to carry on owning it for what he used it for. The year before it went straight through with no problems.:-| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulob1 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 not sure a ural 375d will ever be economical as a commercial truck, its more the fun of ownership...if you are using them commercially okay there may be an argument to have the full set of safety bars fitted. But as its a classic ex military vehicle from the 60's, even if it was still in production until the mid eigthies...it should really be left alone...its not as if its going to be doing many millions of miles up and down motorways etc...but understand about which office it goes too.

berna2vm Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 This sounds really exciting... Zil, Kraz, Ural. I can't wait to see the pictures! A Polish lad who works for me did national service and used to drive a Star 266 and rated it very highly.... Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulob1 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 hey i need all the details i can get if you can contact him...manuals are my first chase...then anything to do with servicing etc and operating etc would be really good, english or polish... Am back now, gaz is running around my place, brakes need sorting, master cylinder leaking, seals gone and canvas has gone fragile and needs a new one...but she runs fine if a bit choked, think she needs a good run... but will sell this one as I am not into small jeeps...

FW200 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Out of curiosity, how much would a BRDM1 like pictured go for? Very nice pics btw, thank you for posting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulob1 Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 they are now fetching silly prices...but the onep[ictured fully restored is not for sale, but it would be of the order of about 15000, plus delivery to the UK...say another 1200 to 1500 quid at the worst...but truthfully they are like hens teeth at the moment...although i may have just found that elusive hen...will let you know..
