Hi Paul.
Sounds like the UAZ469 to me. The GAZ69A is much nicer looking. UAZ is
the Uljanov Automobil Factory (Zavodny=Factory), which took over where the
Gorkii Automobil Factory left off in about 1956. If I were to find a close
approximation between a UAZ469 and a Brit wagon, I'd say it looks similar to
the Austin Champ. (Sorry Austin.....)
