I watched both BBS & Sky news & can't remember , it is painted a matt green all over & located to the right of the scaffolding keep.

The commentry stated there were a couple of activists with their arms in a concrete filled washing machine that was attached to the truck or something to that effect..

I see ,, are they very rare in the UK ? would it be a great loss to the M.V. preservation fraternity if it were incinerated ?

 

What about £ valuations for those runners in sound condition ? Availability of spares ?

 

I suppose they are very cheap in the eastern block , just the cost of importation etc.

 

Looks like it could be put to a few practical uses !

The curved front one is a Zil, the square fronted one is a Ural. There's a lot of similarity between the two.

 

There are manuals downloadable on here - http://www.russianmilitarytrucks.com/

 

Good fun and easy to drive, though a pig to get started - I've been shown two different ways and theres definitely a knack to it that I don't have :)
