New Member In South Somerset!

Post by henryJS » Mon Jul 27, 2020 3:14 pm

Good Afternoon all!

I am Henry, I live in the SouthWest of the UK (in Somerset).

I have just bought an UAZ 452 (i think the model is a 3471 Van?) I also have another 452 'Tadpole' flat bed, but it is only good for parts as is so rusty its beyond salavage. It also has no ID.
I traded in a Lada Samara 1300 to fund part of the Loaf!

I intend to get the Loaf up and running smoothly - then to do a camper conversion. The rust bucket (or RustPole as i like to call it) is a parts donor / spares.

Day-to-day i can be found working with sports cars see www.arielmotor.co.uk i guess some of you may have heard of us!

For now i expect i will be mostly asking questions about 452 Loaf's but in time i hop to be use to others.

All the best

Your Uaz452 was driven back to the Uk in 2014 by Phil Dust & his son. Adventurous trip with multiple breakdowns. He’s going to get in touch with you to give you some history on the van. Good luck
