Auto Car | Gaz 69A Command Car | This unit has only just arrived. Units like this I will keep abroad unless there is enough interest from the UK. These are very collectable and don't hang around, the previous one sold in five days.
This unit is in very good condition, but as usual if sold here in the UK, will go through the workshops and fully prepared and registered for the road.
GAZ-69 was a four wheel drive light truck of jeep class, produced by GAZ (ÃÀÇ, or Gorkovskij Awtomobilnyj Zavod) between 1953 and 1955. From 1954 until 1972 it was produced by UAZ, as UAZ-69, though they were commonly known as GAZ-69s as well.
Basic variant GAZ-69 has a pair of doors only and most often appears with standard canvas top and upper sides. Further variant GAZ-69A (UAZ-69A) has two pair of doors. It was also produced under licence by ARO in Romania, as Muscel M-59, later modernized as the Muscel M-461. From the UAZ-69 there were developed off-road van and light truck UAZ-450 and newer jeep UAZ-469.

History of Gaz
The history of GAZ began with the GAZ 61 (one of the first Russian offroad vehicles), constructed in 1938. In order to use it as a small military 4WD, the GAZ 61 was modified (it's better say "totally reconstructed" in a very short period (3 February - 25 March 1941) under the leadership of Vitaliy Grachev and was named GAZ 64. It looked like American Bantam with it's narrow track. After major modernization (wider track, new fenders, footboards, additional fuel tank under driver's seat), on 23rd September 1943 the GAZ 67 was produced. In all 92,843 GAZ 67 were built to autumn of 1953. In almost all hard offroad conditions the GAZ 67 was better than American Willys, Bantam and Ford. But it was less reliable and less economical (0.4 litre/km). There were also problems with brakes and it was hard to repair. After the WW2 some GAZ 67 spread around the world and even to Australia (see below)! The GAZ 67 was modified many times and in 1947 the GAZ 69 model appeared. It was created by Grigory Vasserman. The first serial GAZ 69 was made on 1st September 1953. At the end of 1954 production of GAZ 69 was moved to Ulianovsk (UAZ), where it was produced from 1956 to December 1972 when it was replaced by the UAZ-469. 634,285 of the GAZ 69 were built over all versions.
