Strange 4x4 ....

Hello

Last week I was going in a US garage in Belgium, the garagist have two very old Beijing for sale...

What is the Beijing..... it is the Uaz's "brother" ?

I recognize axles from UAZ on this car

And the engine is a 2,5L carbu....

What are the difference about this 4x4 and UAZ ?

Thanks

Christophe

PS : if you want photos, i will have them Tuesday....

Dear Christophe!
Beijing is the China's version of soviet military UAZ-469. Russian UAZ-469 and China's Beijing have the same engine 2,5 l, the same transmission and the same frame. They are difference only in the body.
Best regards. Grigory.

ok Thanks :P

This is very interesting - it looks like UAZ axle but it doesn't! And main difference - axle gearbox located on left side instead of right on UAZ. It mean that gearbox and transfer box should be different!
I suppose that this car is totally different than UAZ and only "like" UAZ but not the same as all Chinees copy-car usual.

I will probably have a UAZ in a few month

With a broken Peugeot Diesel engine
But for 0 euros, i don't cry

In france we can't have homologation, because the only cars we have here is Lada

It will be only offroad car

To Niva4x4: what do you mean under "can't have homologation"? UAZ couldn't be use in France due to ecology requirements?

France is the only one 4x4 who never import UAZ (in the 60' years, 70', 80' 90' and now )

In the 70'/80' years, POCH, the only one russian and eastern countries car dealers, import MOSKVITCH, LADA .... and SKODA....but no UAZ

Uaz is present in Italy (uazitalia.net), Germany, Belgium and Nederland....
, and i think that's all

Насколько я понимаю европейские правила, экология здесь не причем. УАЗ отвечает нормам Евро-0, которые существовали на момент его выпуска, и этого достаточно. Но УАЗ не сертифицирован во Франции, т.к. никогда туда не поставлялся, в отличие от, например Италии. В принципе, получить сертификацию на единичную машину, насколько я знаю, в Европе несложно и недорого. Но нашему другу это не нужно, т.к. он собирается использовать УАЗ только как спортивный снаряд.
