No picture	Mostly UAZ can be found under GAZ - sorry but I have to make a choice. And they do look very alike
	UAZ - 469 (2007) homebuilt in Warsaw, Poland. Adam has told me: It goes on water quit well. There is a problem with engine over heating in the summer. I have a winch installed that is very helpful with getting out of the water Update: The problem of overheating was solved. I use two powerful ventilators and additional radiator. Speed Land: 90 km/h Speed Water: 7.5 km/h The temperature of cooling water is 90 C. No oil radiator. Water heat exchanger for swimming. Temperature in engine bay is 35-40 C I have installed 4 bilge electric bilge pumps and 1 hand bilge pump. The water leaks in are now reduced to 3-4 litre per swimming hour.
	UNI-CAT (2003) The UNI-CAT was an Amphibious Track able 8x6 WD (off-road), 4x2 WD (on-road) street legal vehicle. Engine: in the rear Gearbox: Speed land: Length: 3900 width: 1900 height: 1200 mm Weight: 1100 load: 1200 kg Fuel: 208 litre It has: Fully adjustable independent suspension Compressed air as standard A 40 litre portable water tank A removable load deck that converts into a 1800 x 1200 mm trailer LHD and RHD steering ports It has two side lockers (2400 x 3200 mm) Dual batteries Dual radiators Fold-flat windscreen Quick release roll bar The rear seat back folds flat to seal of the cockpit area when the vehicle is left unattended. It is built entirely of folded metal sheets, using CAD CAM or manual operation. Most components are reversible left/right or top/bottom to ensure great redundancy and parts utilization. The trike (the one in front of the line up) is actually the UNI-CAT emergency vehicle. It uses the trailer (which is the load bay deck), with the auxiliary engine. The seats, wheels and most other things are already on the UNI-CAT (for example, the foot rest is actually the muffler cover) so there is next to no weight penalty for having this capability.
	Unicar  (1985) It is a prototype build from Unimog parts. The Unicar is a 4x4 Engine: 115 hp 4 cylinder Benzine or Diesel Gearbox: 5 Forward 1 Backward Transfer-box: 2 gears Speed land: 100 water: 10 km/h Length: 4450 width: 1940 height: 1980 mm Weight: 2200 load: 2600 kg Range 480 km The tire control by the driver from the cockpit permits tire pressure between 0,4 - 1.8 atm. Brakes Dual circuit hydraulic brakes Water Drive Propeller 400 mm
	Valentine DD (1943) After the tests on the Tetrarch light tank in Portsmouth Harbour proved successful, the Valentine, a reliable British tank, was chosen to enter DD production. In 1944, the Valentine was a bit passed as a weapon of war, so the same principle was applied to the Sherman tank. Most DD tank crews, did their first training on the Valentine DD. See also the Tetrarch DD light tank and the Sherman DD
	Valt Atnor (1985) France six wheel drive ATV Engine: 2CV Citroen 29 hp Gearbox: Citroen 4 forward 1 reverse Weight: 589 kg Steers with 2 handles, pull one handle to engage the breaks on one side. It is a small ATV Not fully grown up yet. ;-) There for it needs a little help to swim . :) The vehicle was for sale on Ebay
	VAZ 1922 MARSH (199X) This project was made by BRONTO that is an experimental product division of the Lada/VAZ factory. Maybe a few 100 were made Maybe the are still been made They are used in the Russian swamp Speed land: 67 water: 5 km/h Tires: TRECOL ultra low pressure 201 "Speedway " 1300 х 600 х 533 Chassis used is the same as an UAZ 466 Drive train unknown but not standard Lada. ;-) In 2008 a modified GAZ Gazelle with the same function saw the light of production. That can be the reason that the one in the last photo was found in Moscow city. Another curiosity of Marsh. Without any modification the Marsh 1922 reached the Earth North Pole in January of the year 2000. It was driven by two people from the Russian research base that is about 114 km from the Pole. 90 years after Robert Edwin Peary, a Niva settled on the Earth North. They say that Marsh behaved perfectly, maintaining an average speed of 20-15 Km/h in an average temperature of -30\BAC.
	VAZ 2122 Peka' Russian for 'River'(1987) In the period from 1978 to 1987 21 Amphibs where made. The first prototypes had big problems with the overheating of the gearbox and the front diff. That is why a hole in the front and a hole in the back was made, (to be closed in the water), the flow of air through the double bottom cooled the gear box and the diff. when on the road. The (made watertight) bottom plate was from the Lada Niva cabriolet. Most parts came from the Lada Niva 2121. There are two different models the VAZ-E2122/VAZ-2E2122 and the VAZ-2122 VAZ E2122 Engine: 4 cylinder petrol Lada 1.6 litre Length: 3735 width: 1690 height: 1775 mm Weight: 1200 kg Speed land: 115 water: 4.3 km/h Water propulsion: wheels only VAZ 2122 Engine: 4 cylinder petrol Lada 1.294 cc Length: 3714 width: 1678 height: 1680 mm Weight: XX kg Speed land: 110 water: 4.0 km/h Water propulsion: wheels only Wheelbase: 2200 mm This amphibious vehicle participated in the contest of ministry of defence on the army amphibious vehicles in 1985 on a par with UAZ(GAZ)-3907 jaguar and NAMI-0281. The order was won by GAZ-3937 Vodnik. Only 3 series production models exists.(that I know) 1 in the Military Museum of Riaz\E1n 1 in the Museum of Transport Technique of Kaunase 1 is in private hands
	Venema (2004) This 8x8 is home build in Holland. Engine: 4 hp Briggs and Stratton with an electric starter. Gearbox: 3 gears forward and 3 gears backward, automatic clutch. Speed land: 20 km/h Skid steering by breaking the wheels on one side by scooter disk brakes. It has a water jet for propulsion in the water. Steering by breaking the wheels on one side by disk brakes from a scooter.
	Vespa scooter (1952) Constructed by the Fransman Greorge Monnerer for a Paris to London rally. The picture was taken during the crossing of the English channel. Info and picture came from Nick Topping.
	Vickers Carden Loyd amphibious tank (1931) First photo is taken Holland It is only amphibious with Balsa wood floats and very very light weapons This tank was used from China to Poland. The Soviet T37 was made from the same drawing. Known as A4E11 and A4E12, but to confuse things also known as L1E1 and L1E2. Engine: 6 cylinder Meadows 90 hp Speed land: 40 water: 6 km/h Length: 4400 width: 2150 height: 2030 mm Weight: 2170 kg Armour: 11 mm Water propulsion: propeller and rudder Crew: 2
	Vickers Light Tank Mark II (1932) The mark II had the same hull as the Mark 1A, but used the Horstman suspension. That is why I hate TANKS! :-) Three prototypes A4E13, A4E14 and A4E15 where build. the last 2 of these were made water tight (the rivets closely spaced) and where given floats. They were then fitted with flotation devices and used for water tests. Driven by an outboard engine they where the first closed amphibious tanks. Engine: Rolls Royce 66 hp Speed land: 50 km/h Length: 3700 width: 2050 height: 2200 mm Weight: 4250 kg Armour: 4 - 10 mm Crew: 2
	Vickers Tank (1939) It was designed and produced by Vickers. To increase the buoyancy the road-wheels were made hollow and watertight. It came never to series production. Engine: 6 cylinder Meadows ESTB 88 hp Speed water: 6.5 km/h Length: 4950 width: 2620 height: 2585 mm Weight: 4400 kg Crew: 2
