Just appeared. Looks original and not messed with. Do we know the seller? Usual disclaimer. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/5UIAAOSwxA5fNnUg/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/-r0AAOSwv9pfNnW7/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/SAwAAOSwZXRfNnV2/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images...

These are Soviet Border Guards of the Kara Kala district 1976-78 (see filigrane 8-) ). An interesting study would be tracing how the wing mirrors were variously grafted whilst in service. We know that the GAZ came with none as it left the factory. Somewhere I have read that if a soldier/driver felt ...

Parade one with lots of added chrome in the 1960s at a guess:

This has just appeared. Anybody we know? Located apparently in Eastleigh. I obviously have no connection with the seller. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/2ewAAOSw--Ne8KMS/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/5MEAAOSw~A5e8KMU/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Vq0AAOSwgCxe8KMW/s-l1600.jp...

This may have been shown before. Given the context and the uniforms this is most likely to be Afghanistan. Although the 40th Army is likely to have had UAZ-469 mostly, it should not be forgotten that there were many other Soviet agencies operating in the country, including the KGB (mainly) with thei...

No idea... but then the best thing to do about it would be to take it out and fit the real thing. After all they can come cheap:

Auction ended at €4,077.67 . Two bidders retracted earlier on bids just above €3,000. On the whole it stayed rather low. The factors contributing to this are probably that vehicles without registration documents sell very badly in Germany. Evidently the registration process is not easy at all. Secon...

In the DDR Soviet military police

This is rather intriguing... Chairman Mao on a Peking home-grown Jeep but there are quite a few GAZ-69 too. Dated 1966. By that stage the rift with the USSR had deepened quite a bit... Although they would wait until 1969 before exchanging blows over the Ussuri river. https://media.gettyimages.com/ph...

might even be the very same vehicle given the peculiarity of the double searchlight.

Someone on Facebook has identified the engine as a Multicar one.

I won't and I am not the seller nor do I have any connections with him...

This has appeared on Ebay.de. The BePo markings on the doors may have been added. But the base vehicle is obviously a GAZ-69AM with DDR modifications. I don't recognise the engine which is certainly not the original one. https://scontent.flhr2-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/97085963_1015862225719...

Kieran meant a SAIL not a SALE...
I know the two owners and I am pretty certain the 46 is not for sale...
