Zil 131 V8 Multi-fuel

Another Russian bruiser. Zil131's are unarguably the most successful 6x6 truck ever built. Manufactured near to Moscow from 1966 to the 1989, they didn't really change in 23 years of production. In a nutshell, they were designed to be driven for abuse, by conscript soldiers, who did their best to destroy them. They also can cope with a wide range of cross fuels. A Ukrainian told me once 'As long as it burns, Zils will run'. '

Personally, Zils always amaze me. I have gone to collect dead Zils with seized engines that haven't started for years. Fixed a link bar to the front. Rocked the engine backwards and forwards. And, with a new battery and fuel, started them up and driven home. What you have to remember is, unlike our military vehicles, that are often designed for the commercial market first, then converted for military use. The Russians do it the other way round.

With Zils, repairing is easy. Cabs can be removed in about 4 hours. Panels unbolt. Wiring is simple and accessable. I carry a huge range of parts, from engines to locking rings.

Next time you watch the news, look carefully behind the journalist. You will likely see a Zil at least twice a week.

As mentioned for every unit advertised I sell around another 2 that don't have time to appear on my website. In the last 5 months 35 units have been sold. More, any other dealer in the UK and europe outside ministry organisations.

These units are off to the U.S.
