We found a GAZ Army truck, Talbot Murena, Volvo & much more abandoned, can we save them?

In this video we make a start clearing the back yard so we can use it for storing the tank and military vehicle collection. In doing so we found many abandoned vehicles including a Gaz Aero, a Talbot murena, Volvo S60, Renault massif 4x4, Fordson major and many many spiders. Can we save any of them and will they drive from their resting places or will we need to drag them kicking and screaming from the nettles?

Was waiting for the side valve petrol, nope its a Diesel! Yes, quality motor, shits n giggles. Crack on lads, get it done. That filters hole is fab.

[@briandoyle667]

very excellent, loved it. I spent many happy hours down the scrap yard and this brought back many happy memories!! Thanks for the memory boost 😁

29.06 min mark and Matt loses it over a twiddly-wink spider. Come to Australia Matt, and we'll show you spiders the sizes of dinner plates! Damn Huntsman spiders!

Talbot Matra Murena & Matra Simca Bagheera are the same motor only separated by a buyout/nationalisation.

I just found your channel, I'm in Mississippi and I see people like ya'll everyday but when I think of the UK, I think of posh people not some "Good O'Boys" with heavy equipment, some tools and "I'll do it my damned self" attitude. Outstanding, I love it.

[@dodgydruid]

I love old Soviet vehicles, if I were a rich man I would have a couple GAZ, a UAZ 4x4, another Lada Niva and a bloody great big Zim... oh and a Vyatka as I am an old scooterboy at heart and would look nice parked in the front room next to the 1958 Lambretta and the 1985 Vespa T5... sadly the only car I own is a dirty yeller three wheel van but seeing as I come from south London its kinda in the blood to drive a pratmobile :D

[@regsparkes6507]

Thanks for a half hour plus, of good fun and entertainment. If you ( dear viewer ) are a bit of a nuts and bolts and wrenches 'fan', then this is a You Tube channel worth subscribing to. I'm glad that I have done!

That would make a very good spot to build a very big shed to park the army stuff in so it is out of the weather and you also would be out of the weather to work on them 👍👍 That French thing is very nice I hope it finds a home

Well, a year on I wonder what happened to all those incredible vehicles? A great vlog full of interest and challenge, for your team. How many of your existing projects will end up like those hidden vehicles!

[@Brigadier9]

I think the GAZ got driven over with a tank.

[@Hellsong89]

@@Brigadier9 ffs! Simple and reliable tech, 4x4 and it runs even after sitting that long with out roof over its head.. would have paid couple hundred for it easy. Guess when you have more money than sense you get to this point that destroying something so good is well spent....

[@moskaski]

You've got to fix it, that thing is cool.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

They damaged the front of this great looking GAZ heavily without a reason. What a bunch of...

[@fittermat]

The Gaz is nothing but a rotten shell vaguely balanced on a daihatsu chassis, it’s worthless so it’s now just a fun runaround for us to use round the farm

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear @@fittermat Ah, okay, I understand! Therefore it was absolutely necessary to damage the GAZ even more. I tell you what: I should already have stopped this video after the dumb one spilled so much Diesel fuel so that the Diesel can soak into the ground and get into the groundwater later. Well done, guys, well done indeed! Maybe you have forgotten that we all are responsible for what we say/write/do, especially if we do it in public! Does no one of you have kids or grandchildren? You are really fine role models for them. Congrats! Best regards, luck, health and wisdom to all of you.

[@Codebreakerblue]

That was... vehement.

[@fittermat]

@@Chr.U.Cas1622 it’s probably going to get scrapped at some point soon anyway, so why not have some fun with it anyway? In terms of spills, you might be better looking at any of the big oil companies rather than us….. but anyway have a fab time and don’t let the door hit you on the way out 👍

[@jamescox3502]

Joe Hewes will drive any vehicle no matter how much trash, rust, spiders and other wild life. He fixes and drives it out weeds six or seven feet tall!

[@williamjohnson6025]

Fix it up

[@robertdominiczak6523]

Notice that some idiot has put a Diesel engine engine in it? Which means they know nothing about Russian engines and if you don’t know why you’re not what you think you are. I own a Russian 4x4 van petrol and would never change to diesel and there is a reason for it?

[@larrypope5784]

Did you really need to dent the front of that truck🤔😳

[@onandup8006]

[@danandrei80]

Guys … that’s not a Gaz!!!!! :) :) :) … It is Romanian and it is called IMS M461. Later the factory change the name from IMS to ARO. However, I was not aware there were RHS Wheel variants???

[@matthewbrittain2919]

It's a fourtrak running gear, chassis etc with a IMS body codged on the top, it's right hand drive cause the fourtrak was.
