The monster MAZ537 Super Strato fortress

Click below to watch the actual film.

P.O.A.

Big is an understatement here. The Maz speaks for itself in volumes. Designed for hauling your Russian tanks around, but also used to move space rockets.

The looks of the Maz means business, although I was tempted to paint 'Grimsdales Dairies' on the front for a laugh. But not everyone over the pond has heard of Norman Wisdom.

The story of how I managed to get one of these is unbelievable. Although I'm use to tricky deals, this one tested me to the extreme. Through a lot of persuasion and destined for dismantling. I managed to save this beast. I have attached a brief film of this actual Maz found on a disused military base, on the first picture. The full uncut version is in the films gallery.
