1966 Mercedes-Benz Unimog
Seller's description
Launched after the Second World War, and still remaining in production to this day, the Unimog 4x4 was marketed as a vehicle for the agricultural community, however due to its versatile nature, it became popular for a variety of other roles. One of the more unusual design features was a flexible chassis frame, effectively making it part of the suspension. The larger wheels also suited the road far better than those of a conventional tractor. Manufactured by Mercedes-Benz, these versatile vehicles have seen service in war-torn regions, as aid agency vehicles, army personnel carrier, and even the Dakar Rally, in which they have occasionally been victorious.
Built in 1966 at the Gaggenau factory in Germany, this '406' series Unimog is painted in olive green with a black cabin. Powered by a 6-cylinder diesel engine, this Unimog has evidently seen some action as a personnel carrier as is apparent from the twin bench seats in the back. Offered without reserve from our Danish vendor, this multipurpose vehicle is the ideal vehicle of choice should you find yourself as the 'designated driver' this summer!
