  1. I have had several since my 1st imported RHD in 1980 which was an ex demonstration van from UMO plant in doncaster. I still have the english hand book,sales price list & brochure. Sadley this was in a sever collision in 1982. I then found another RHD van version up for sale in the heart of London by a garage that couldn't make it go? after 6 hours fixing the brakes & making a temporary accelerator jet for the carb out of a 6mm bolt, I drove 250mile back home with no bother. I think the 7500 miles on the clock were right as it went on to serve my buisness for many years untill the tin body work surcummed to perils of rust! I rescued a RHD pick up from a scrap yard in Berwick on Tweed which we ran for another 5 years before it went the way of all metal. ( I did find out there was an adjent at Long Framlington called Dennis Common but he has stopped about 10years or more ago. I currently run a LHD ambulance version from the Cheq repulic which I bought in 2007 with 2500 Km on the clock & has been kept liecenced & mot'd ever since but is used mainley in the winter or off road. Starts 1st time every time, the only thing replaced was the fuel pump. (diaphams don't like un leaded ). It came with all the military night light gear, 3 stretchers etc. If anyone needs 452 advice i would be pleased to assist but it would be best to email me as I'm sometimes in France.
  2. Hello everyone, thank you for the welcome. I came across the forum site whilst looking on the net about Russian UAZ 452's, which I have run in various guises since 1980. They were imported into the U.K. in the late 1970's by Belarus and marketed as UAZ 452 Treckmaster. My 1st was an ex demo van, but I have had 3 RHD previously all for daily use, well built Chassis & mechanics but the tinware dose not like our climate. My current one is ex Chez military LHD ambulance out of cold war storage, with only 3000km on the clock.(mainly mine). If anyone wants help or info on these trucks I would be pleased to assist.
