Spotted in KZ!

 ·  Posted: 29.11.2013  ·  #1
With excitement building over the delivery of our first RV next week, I was charmed to see my first RV/camper van today since we arrived in Kazakhstan, it just doesn't seem to be something they do here.... Pretty cool looking 4x4 unit I think.

Yup - cars come in here from all directions. About 30% are actually RHD. Being Toyota I'd say she's ex- Jap. But it looks much more Ozzy to me.

There's a certain rugged charm with the UAZ's that lacking in other vans :D

Whippy, Have my heart set on owning a UAZ 452 someday and heading to your parts! Fantastic machine, is there many over there?

Looks like the old Commor vans of the 60's, how old are they?

They're still being made brand new in parts of Russia Pat but I'd say they're close on 50 years unchanged. I'll tell ya though - engineering ain't sexy here but EVERYTHING they make, works really really well.
