    I think you misunderstand, MilWeb don't "do" anything, it would be down to the individual seller (just like eBay). Wherever you buy from, you would just need to arrange export by whatever means are required. Sometimes the seller may be willing to help, other times you may need to use an export...

    Milweb is a sort of club for military vehicle enthusiasts, there's a lot of UK stuff but there are people all over the place. I find they usually want a lot of money for their stuff because they all think it's "historic" - as an example, ex-army Land Rovers (which are neither rare nor especially...

    Thanks John - I think the current owner is not very technically minded, they're having trouble finding any numbers on anything :-( and they haven't maintained the truck very well - there are a fair few leaks (mostly from oil/hydro pipes) so it would be a big job to get it through an MOT. I'd be...

    We are hijacking the original thread quite badly here :oops: but we race in Trophy Raid Ladoga, Veppskii Les (both Russia) and hope to get out to more events such as Klaperjaht in Estonia. I also like the look of the Dresden Breslau rally as they let big trucks run in that one. John C - must've...

    Well, not quite - we race off-road so the truck will have to go wherever we race - initially Russia, but probably Ukraine, Estonia, Hungary, Slovakia etc. as well as any exploring holidays... the road of bones in Russia would seem like a cool thing to do, better in a big truck than Ewan &...

    I have to say, having driven one round a field, OK it's not Rolls-Royce smooth but it copes with bumps well - we'll be driving it on Russian roads & tracks so it's got to cope with rough surfaces at speed, which is where the independent suspension comes in. There is some sacrifice of ultimate...

    Once it was running it was pretty clean actually, did make a hell of a cloud on startup though. It's missing a starter motor, and it needs a set of tyres and a load of tidying up, but I think it could make a nice little runabout. So, anyone got a set of manuals I can exchange for some beer tokens?

    I've sent a PM but no response :( anyone want to sell me a set of manuals on CD / by e-mail? I'm quite close to buying a T813 now (found one for good money but there are a few details to work out) so want to get hold of the full manuals for it so I can see what needs to be done. Oh yes -...

    Another fuel related question then, do they like veg oil?

    That's a nice orderly pile of cabs :roll: Can anyone tell me more about the multifuel capability of these trucks? I know broadly multifuel lumps can "burn anything" but I am also aware it can vary from vehicle to vehicle - some you can stick anything from roadkill to rocket fuel in the tank and...

    Funny, the T815 we're looking at is a 6x6 with two steering front axles. It's a relatively early one though. I can live with that - my Land Rover can manage 10mpg fully laden and probably less when driven off-road. Those are both far more modern than the T815 we're looking at so I suspect it's...

    Morning all :razz: I thought I'd post up and say hello, and make a nuisance of myself by asking a few questions... I've read this entire thread (my brain hurts now!) as I am currently grappling with the idea of buying a T813 8x8. My mate is also looking at a T815 6x6 heavy hauler. Both would be...
