ot-90

all vehicles on set are fully insured, we have never had any damage caused to any of our rented action vehicles.

And our word and advise on health and safety is final, so even if the director wants something done and we deem it to be dangerous or unsafe then it doesn't happen.

found one volga 21, seems they are not so popular here in the uk, and the owner is letting us rent it for this next possible film shoot could do with more ...

Probably going to look to buy one at some point? as there are few around.. and not cheap nowadays!

yea..also had the air bottle valve break too, going to fit a std divers bottle valve instead.

your not having much luck atm with yours m8

Been involved in the film and tv action vehicles for around 18 years now, supplying military and civilian from films,tv,commercials and docs..

Cant say ive heard of you either? lol, but its a big industry!

just before the war and peace show my intercom (a1) box went pop, took it out and sure enough the transformer has blown, so been looking to find the wiring vehicle system diagram for the intercom, spent lots of time looking on the internet and found naada! got the manuals etc but nothing re intercom wiring in it..

Had a brain wave and asked my local ham radio guy who has a zil 131 radio comms unit and he has found the diagram for me! awesome bloke :-), now ive just handed it over to a friend of mine to see if he can fathom it out?

hope so cos i need it fixed..

we are just tendering now for another film ..any 1960's ish, russian and european also german volga's gaz m20-21, chaika, or weird looking vehicles let me know asap please need pics by the week end!

i need pics and descriptions and years of manufacture (period) for all your vehicles m8 saabs etc are wanted too

We are currently looking for forum members vehicles to update our film/tv action vehicle rental list.

We tender for action vehicles for film and TV productions and we would like to add as many vehicles as we can to this list. Whether they are military or civilian from ww2 to current, all vehicles of any type including all eastern European, German,polish etc and any thing else that could possibly be used in any type of filming.

Your vehicle must be in running condition and road worthy and mechanically sound which normally is essential , but sometimes we have used rotten or burned out vehicles in the past.

So if you want the chance to get your vehicle in films or TV productions, and earn some extra money then please email us directly on trapper_industries@hotmail.com

We will need some good quality pictures emailed to us and a description of the vehicles you have available for rent and your location details, contact phone number and email address.

yea never dealt with them b4 only excaliber army, who are ok, but they are all the same , not really interested in small fry deals etc

yea thanks, but i wouldn't go near any of their vehicles with a barge pole bad things have happened with them and customers not getting vehicles they ordered etc..

plating would be fun to say the least!lol

Ive decided to try and find a tatra 813 as a transporter for my ot-90.

Any one got one for sale in the UK or abroad?

hmm random off topicness !! lol

nothing is impossible! just difficult sometimes . it can be done as a specific purpose vehicle for carrying tanks etc as its not tracked..and there are exemptions for such vehicles like cranes etc..

indeed paul, seen the daf and man ones at shows with 432 on them but never anything russian on one! which did you get? and is it easy to load? Price of insurance and tax etc? also seen this in cz..

but they must be 2.950 mtr wide and could be possible to register in uk?

tatra t815..Me wants one of these!!

Yea nice vid..Someone must have videoed it surely ??

My view is that the fairground should have been swapped with the traders thus leading the public from fair ground to traders to MV's and then onto reenactments etc

Also include free or very cheap MV's as a bus tours so as the older or lazy public etc can see all of the show with various stop off points along the way.

Nick's ot-90 going mental at war and peace show 2013, had her at 40 kph on the back straight!

Yes that will do it ok...

We are pitched at kitcheners field just on right as you go in the gate way.. see you at War and peace revival show..

congrats.. welcome to the awesome world of the ot-90..

so when you gonna swim it then?

btw my ot-90 hull number is 275 yours must have come from excaliber army in CZ?

MY BAD!! sorry i have just realized i put 1943 instead of 1944..(typo)!

actually the gaz 67b were produced from 1944-50's after they were upgraded from the original 67's which were based on the bantam (not the willys jeep as some think) and the stamped grills and bonnet/hood were from mid 1944 on..

mine has its original vin plate which says 23.6.44 stamped at the base of the chassis plate, and the chassis number fits with its year of manufacture.

The gaz 67b's were upgraded 67's, having a wider track and higher ground clearance etc..and later on an extra fuel tank fitted, as Stalin was not pleased with the pitiful fuel economy and range of the 67's and the fact they ran out of fuel in the field regularly and were promptly shot to **** by 'z Germans'!

you could try http://www.trapperindustries.com

hmm yea it could be more hassle than its worth..cheers for the info tho..

Just a pipe dream atm :-)

Will see about insurance etc in the future.
