УАЗ-452 Буханка
The [b]UAZ-452[/b] "Bukhanka" (bread loaf) are a family of compact [[Soviet]]/Russian cab over engine [[van]]s and light [[truck]]s with standard four-wheel drive, off-road capability, built by the "Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAZ] since 1965. The vans got their nickname due to their outer resemblance to a [[loaf of bread]] – except the [[ambulance]] version, which gets called a "Tabletka" ('Таблетка'), or '[[pill]]' in [[russian text|Russian]].

Since 1985, the vans received updates: more modern engines and internationally compliant lighting, as well as new model numbers, 3741 for the standard van, while (crew-cab) trucks mostly starting with 3303, often with one or two extra digits specifying the version. From 1997, bigger 33036 truck variants with a 25 cm longer wheelbase, and taller soft-top roof bows and drop-sides were added.
