Great War truck Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 The BTR60 is one of my favourite looking MV's. I have seen several coming up for sale on the internet (mostly in the Ukraine), but never seen one in private hands in the UK. Can you drive them on the roads over here? Not planning on getting one (just yet - well, not while I intend to remain married), but are there any major issues with them?

fadedsun Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Two smaller gas engines, pretty wide. All I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 I was wondering if the width would preclude it from road use. Almost certainly I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ot-90 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Sadly no chance of getting the btr's uk road reg as they are over 2.5 mtrs wide.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Sadly true :cry: Although if they were legal then I'd prefer the BTR-80 with it's single engine config. The twin Gaz engines in the -60 and -70 are old truck designs and are working almost at their limits so breakdowns are a fact of life rather than a rarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulob1 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 the engines are lovely when running right and with simple maintenance they can be made to run reasonably efficiently. and reliably... the BTR-60 is wide and unlikely to get registered under a normal format...it may be possible to register it as an agricultural vehicle...but I think driving it on the roads would be a pain...
