haybaggerman Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi All I'm going to view a Kraz 255b tonight, anything I should be looking out for? There is a youtube film by Russian Trucks taken driving in the cab of one of these back in 2007 and I'm sure its the same one judging by the markings, although its a bit rougher now. Cheers for now Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Ah well, I wouldn't go and look at one in the first place. Because I'd have great difficulty leaving without it :red: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haybaggerman Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Am I being overly suspicious here? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KRAZ-255B-6X6-Ex-Military-Truck-V8-Diesel-Ideal-Overland-Conversion-Promotion-/190579085463?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D3008063409572548622 I was told this kraz came from scotland, a boyfriend of gran, some fall out regarding money etc etc and it has been in the family for 8 years. However, the kraz in the below video is exactly the same vehicle in my oppinion Markings are exactly the same, has the same large dent in the bonnet (not visible on ebay photos). Seems may have been sold by russian trucks around 2007? I asked had it been sold by russian trucks but the vendor said no. There is no V5 with the truck. I just don't like things not adding up completely. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edd Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 It does look very similar to one that was for sale earlier this year on ebay. Description was the same with issues with the lights and no back. Sold for about £4.5k. I'd say it is the same one so wonder why it is being relisted.
