you can see some pics, I will add some soon with complete new paintjob .

Thanks for sharing the photos!

Did you buy it in Germany? I ask because the cab is in _Kommunal-Orange_: That is an orange colour often used with maintenance vehicles which are owned by German towns, cities and counties.

If you do dome search on the web you will find out there is an astonishing lot of Unimog-lovers.

Previous owner bought it in Germany, he needed some vehicle with crawler gears. It was parked for about 10 years, when we bought it. We are doing almost complete restoration (except engine,only rubber piping) , main purpose will be lihgt fire truck for difficult terrains. If the numbers are correct and no one messed with it, it has about 140.000 km, and one year working hours :-) , and it is in quite good condition. I think it will look very attractive when finished , if you are interested, I will put some pictures with new paint soon .
