NVA Tatra

[LOGGERS]

Rare NVA Version. I would like one of these as could use for work during week and fun/travel at weekends.

[warewolf]

I've seen few of them, this box is higher then me (6ft) and there's a lot of space inside.

[LOGGERS]

Do tell me if you know of a good condition version!!

[warewolf]

Not sure if they are still for sale. What is NVA?

[LOGGERS]

German Military NBC Units. Not sure of the German exact wording/spelling.

[warewolf]

I was inside of one of them, it was empty, but it looked more like a part of radar station full of electronics, then a NBC unit. Besides, there were trucks with radar dishes standing next to it.

[LOGGERS]

Each version was produced to the Units needs. Some Ambulance/Command Cabin/NBC Test Unit/Radio Survey.

NVA = Nationale Volks Armee

Is the Lak body really taller than 6'? Going from the photos and comparing it to the height of the cab and wheels it looks somewhat shorter to me :?

[warewolf]

Don't remember the actuall size, but tyres on these Tatras looked a bit smaller then 14.00x20 on Urals.

[Abrs]

From memory I think the tyres on the 148 were 10.00 R20.

[paulob1]

they want big money for these and most are very tatty now....cant imagine why they demand such money...

[Abrs]

I agree, think I would be more tempted to get hold of an insulated shipping container and then cut it down to the size you want, you'd be a lot better protected in one of those, & warmer

A good "Reefer" is expensive and if damaged lets damp in behind the insulation which goes mouldy Normal ISO and insulation board would be a reasonable idea.

[Abrs]

They do non refrigerated containers that are still insulated, they are double skin which will not allow any moisture inside even if there was a leak in the external skin. Normally go for about 1500 pounds for an A1 grade 20' container.

[LOGGERS]

Double skin! That would also protect tools from the "Light Handed" people in the night. I have found a decent Lak 2 Cabin in Germany at a sensible price and now need to work out how to bring back to the UK. Would have been simple if it had a Tatra 148/Ural truck underneath :lol:

Intend to use a workshop/emergency shelter on sites. Rain Rain and more at the moment :shock: Seems like more in Cumbria :roll:

BAT trade (.de) have a LAK2 and some later NATO aluminium cabins which look quite cosy.
