I completely forgot about this thread and bumped onto it by accident:
HomoFaber:
13. Zubr A80 (it’s from Jelcz works, isn’t it?)
Yes, and yes
Tur (as I suspected Skoda/Liaz 706 chassis, product of cooperation between Liaz and Jelcz, several tipper prototypes built at Jelcz, boxvans at Liaz, not many pics around, where did you get this one from? I’d like to find out more…)
Yes. Don’t have much pictures of it…
HomoFaber:
19. TAM 75, Made in YU
Yes
IZh 2717, Made in RU by Izhmash (why the hell does it remind me of Moskvich Aleko…let me see… oh dear, it’s got its name on numberplate…)
Yes
HomoFaber:
23. Dutra DR50, I was wrong when I said “Soviet beast”, it’s actually “gay huszar” (Made in Hungary)
Right again
HomoFaber:
4. looks like a Nysa van to me, but the front grill…
It’s because this is very rare, early version. Off course you’re right, it is Nysa.
could that be Autosan H6 bus converted into boxvan?
Well, the photo is missing already… But you might be right there as well if it was something like this:
And I was then in Croatia? Indeed, I got stuck on the border, I remember that one
I certainly recognise number 17… It’s at Sparwood, BC.
12 looks like a Simca van
1 looks like an MAN
2 looks like a Hino
Is 14 an AX Citroen?
32 has to be a Fiat…
Sorry, but I lost a lot of my memory circuits last year…
1 : Zagad
2: Tatra
7 : Tatra 803
14: Skoda
17: Terex Titan
22: Skoda-Liaz Xena
26: Tatra van?
27: Ikarus
30: Ikarus
32: looks like a fiat panda van lol
Correct. I was really surprised to seen one in Outer Hebrides… They were having hard times back in Poland, so I did not expected them to export RHD to here
Btw: how do you find this fruit of the Polish construction thought?
The older models were very simple but famous for reliability and nice driving…
gogzy:
im doing not bad, ive only seen the tatra 803s on the truck trial circuits and that skoda at no22 i saw on biglorryblog a few days ago
Are you sure that it wasn’t 813?
you could be right lol they all look the same anyway
The same cab, yes, but the 803 was mostly used as a heavy tractor (they used to pull all heavy machines when I was small kid) while 813 is a 8X8 off road one
