REGISTRATION AND COLLECTION
The truck is kept unregistered on purpose: in Poland, trucks of this size pay vehicle tax from the month after registration. Registration takes an hour or two. We register it before your visit so your test drive is fully legal. When you buy, we go to the registration office with you and register it in your name on export plates, so you drive it straight home.
Polish insurance for export plates costs €100–500 per year, and you can claim back the unused part once the truck is registered in your country.
Jarocin is 230 km from the German border on the A2/E30. Can't come in person? Book a live video walkaround. We deliver to Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK and most of Europe.

ABOUT US
We are ForTankmen from Jarocin, Poland. For more than fifteen years we have been working inside and underneath Warsaw Pact trucks, cars and armour: restoring them, repairing them and keeping them on the road. We run our own workshop and a parts store with over a thousand parts for ZIL, Ural, GAZ, Tatra and Soviet tracked vehicles, shipped to collectors all over Europe. More than a hundred of our customers keep coming back.

Every vehicle we sell goes through our workshop first. We don't sell anything we wouldn't drive across the border ourselves. And we're still here after the sale: when your ZIL needs tyres, parts or advice, you already know who to call.

Come and see it. We'll have the coffee on.
