Unimog Campervan 1300L 1986.

Price:

€32,000 (Euro) Currency Assistant.

Owner's description:

Mechanical:

• Right hand drive.
• OM352 A Turbocharged 168hp Engine.
• Engine Kilometers 100,000kms
• Chassis kilometres 170,000kms.
• Front PTO for winch.

General comment:

This vehicle is a very comfortable unit for two people but could easily be modified to sleep three. The vehicle is in good all round mechanical condition. The body work suffers from scratches and could do with a re-spray to make the vehicle look top notch again. The vehicle is being sold as a complete unit and has all the necessary equipment, cutlery, crockery, pots, pans, Tomos Moped, Honda 1 kva generator and is road ready for another trip.

The NZ Unimog 1300L were higher geared than most German Army 1300L's. This vehicle does 80kmh at 2250 rpm. The OM352A engine produces 168 hp (standard Unimog 1300L 130hp) The max torque is 520Nm (standard Unimog 1300L 363Nm) I purchased the vehicle at 90,000kms and shortly after had fitted the OM352A turbo engine from an accident damaged NZ army Unimog. At the time of the accident the accident damaged Unimog had only done 20,000Kms - this explains the difference in engine kms and chassis kms.

An almost complete service history s available - the NZ army log book is in my possession and I have kept a detailed history of work done. The second owner (I am the third) did not keep any records.

Body:

Marine ply and glass fibre sandwich construction, interior fibreglass with gelcoat. Cupboards marine ply with teak veneer finish, 8 cupboards, a wardrobe and four under-bed storage areas. Seitz double glazed windows with integral mosquito netting and panoramic rear window opening.

Interior:

Standing height 196cm, width 213cm length 318cm. Configured as two single beds or one double. Two roof hatches and inductor/extractor fan for ventilation.

Facilities:

Shower, toilet, SMEV oven and gas cooker, Truma hot storage water, Waeco 50L fridge 12v, 24v and 240v, running hot and cold water. Hot water Truma 230v electric and gas, Panasonic CD player/radio. 200 litres water storage.

Electrics:

Auxiliary 12 v 130 ah gelcel battery charged by 100watt solar panels, engine alternator or mains hookup. Separate 24v and 12 volt mains battery chargers. Externally mounted Honda EU10i 1kva petrol generator.

Miscellaneous:

External storage - 5 storage lockers and one roof box. Two Spare tyres (only one with rim) 4 x 20L Jerry cans plus 4 x 10L Jerry cans, Tomos 49cc moped on rear mounted rack, fire extinguisher, safe.

Spares and tools:

Hub seals x 2, one set front brake cylinder seals, brake pads x 8, fuel pump, spare clutch plate, 24v winch for lifting cab, ½ inch socket set, an assortment ring and open ended spanners, screwdrivers, files, hammer, hacksaw etc. Steel tow rope, nylon tow rope, wheel spanner, hydraulic jack.

Mercedes special tools - brake calliper setting tool and bearing puller, Service manual in paper format and spares manual in CD format.

Vehicle sale logistics:

The vehicle is NZ registered and would need to be re-registered by the purchaser in a country of their choice. The vehicle is currently on a Carnet de Passage and it may be possible to arrange for a guarantee transfer thereby enabling the purchaser to drive the vehicle until it is re-registered in their name.

I expect to be in Tanzania or Kenya at time of actual sale although if a prospective purchaser wants the vehicle driven to or shipped to a different location this may be arranged (at a cost) or fly to Kenya, travel in Africa and drive it back to the UK yourself.

Contact details. I am travelling so do not expect an immediate answer to any queries but I endeavour to check my mail at least once every two weeks.

Unimog 1700L38 Raised Crew-Cab.

Owner's description:

This 1988, 140.000km Unimog has been lovingly kept and customized to specific personal standards, destined as an overland travelling unit for 4/5 people in any conditions, and with maximum comfort.

It was originally used as a mobile work station for a large industry in Germany which had a fleet of Unimogs, in the rear cell there was everything from welding equipment to compressors and a full set of tools and spare parts. Most of the time it was servicing another vehicle, hence the low mileage of 100.000kms when I purchased it. I also don't know how long it was not used before I bought it but I had to change the head gasket as it had dried due to standing still. The longest trip I have made was to Nord Kapp two years ago and the previous year I travelled down through Libia to the border of Somalia, covering about 6.000km, most of which was sand and pists.

I would leave for Australia tomorrow if I had the opportunity without doing anything on it and this is how I feel about the reliability of the vehicle.

This "one of its kind" was not built to be sold but to fulfil the dreams of a family and the pleasure of the driver. In the last 6 years both have been achieved even though life has a way of playing tricks on you as time passes. The Unimog was originally designed to be an excellent work horse and, in my opinion, is the best off road vehicle on the present world market. This example is ready to go wherever you want, now!

Please ask for more information and photographs.

Owner's description:

I have owned this Mog for the last 21 years...

I have owned this Mog for the last 21 years (at 21 it's just come of age so it's time for him to leave home, and on to new adventures) It was made in 1964, this has been verified by Mercedes in Germany. It is a diesel (OM352 ) which runs very well and is fitted with a super creeper gearbox, I have done much work on it during my ownership.

A brief list follows:

• The brakes have been overhauled, with new linings back and front
• New wheel cylinders
• The brake booster was overhauled about 2 years ago.
• New oil seals have been fitted to the front axle tube (half shaft ends).
• New seal lands fitted to the half shafts
• A new seal and land fitted to the drivers side portal drive flange.
• A full re-wire has been carried out.

Basically what has been needed has been had mechanically. The cab tin-work is starting to show rust on a few areas but nothing serious. The original back body had been run over by something bloody big and was beyond saving, the one it carries at the minute was made by Mackworth commercial body builders for the Staffordshire county libraries and was purchased at auction.

Owner's description:

Unimog 404. Ex French Military.

This vehicle is in very good condition for its age and comes with all the canvas covers and rear bench seating. I have owned this vehicle for a couple of years and just used it to drive around the fields, the rest of the time it lives in a barn away from the elements. The chassis is in great condition and there are only a couple of very small rust patches on the bodywork. It is all very solid, with very good tyres and spare. I think it has done about 38,000 kilometers.

The bad points: Although it runs very well it probably needs a good service, the foot brakes don't work very well, but the hand-brake is good. (I think brakes are low on fluid).

The vehicle is based at my holiday house in France (near Dijon) and any interested parties would be very welcome to stay overnight if they came to look at or buy the vehicle. It is not road legal. (I am sure this is not difficult) so the potential purchaser would need to bring some form of low-loader with them. The drive from Calais in a lorry would be about six hours.
