In Italy, a 1984 UAZ-469 has been put up for sale. They are asking for 1900 euros for the Soviet SUV, although considering the condition of the vehicle, that is quite a lot.
The UAZ’s mileage is small (71 thousand km), but the SUV has been stationary since 1992, thus it has rusted, and its canvas has turned into shreds. The engine of the vehicle is also not in the best condition.
By the way, the engine is quite unusual: the UAZ-469 is equipped with a 2.5-liter 76-horsepower Peugeot XD2 diesel engine.
Such engines were installed on the Soviet SUV in Italy – by the efforts of the dealer Martorelli.
By the way, from 1973 to 1999 Martorelli sold 6662 UAZs in Italy. The vehicles were also equipped with Fiat and VM Motori diesels.
