Uk History
Importation into UK
Various models of Soviet motorcycles had been imported up to around 1970, but in very small numbers. Most motorcyclists knew nothing of Soviet motorcycles. In around 1970 Mr Fred Wells of Manor Park East London decided to import the Ural M63, he did this until around 1972.
Then SATRA got the concession to import all Soviet motorcycles from around 1972 to 1979. They introduced the ‘Cossack’ trade name that was registered in Great Britain which they applied to every Soviet motorcycle they sold in the UK or re-exported. Then
Nevals took over importation of selected models in 1979 and survived until the late 1990s. They brought in bikes from the same factories, but ran the venture with a lower cost base. After Nevals the importation was taken over by a UK company Ural Moto UK working very closely with the Russian Ural IMZ factory.
