SHOT
The YA-126 is a great looking 1-ton utility truck built from 1953. It
was admired for its excellent ground clearance and grippy H-layout
4x4 drivetrain which delivered traction where it was needed most. The
freewheeling spare wheels on the side were positioned so they could
help if the vehicle bottomed out. They make an excellent vehicle for the
collector, being smooth and relatively nice to drive on road and able
to cruise relatively comfortably at 50mph (80km/h). Fuel consumption
from its 4.6-litre straight-six is around 9mpg, although some have been
converted to LPG which obviously helps. It was phased out in the 1980s,
and the last one is thought to have left service in 1997.
