Beschrijving

The 1973 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 is a rugged and versatile vehicle that belongs to Mercedes-Benz's legendary Unimog series. The Unimog, derived from "UNIversal-MOtor-Gerät" (universal engine device), was originally developed as a multi-purpose vehicle for agricultural and military applications, and over the years has evolved into a wide range of variants for different purposes.

The Unimog 406 is powered by a diesel engine. It has a torquey engine and features a four-wheel drive system with a limited slip differential for optimum traction, even on rough terrain.

The Unimog 406 was known for its excellent off-road capabilities and terrain skills. It had high ground clearance, a flexible chassis, a crawling gear and an exceptional climbing angle, which made it capable of traversing difficult terrain.

The Unimog 406 had a tough and functional body that allowed for different configurations, such as an open pickup bed, an enclosed cab with cargo box, a fire truck or even a snowplow. The vehicle had a modular design, which meant that different attachments could be easily attached or removed.

The 1973 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 remains an icon among off-road vehicle enthusiasts and professionals in need of a reliable and powerful machine for demanding tasks. It is a symbol of intransigence, functionality and versatility in the automotive world.

This car was originally delivered in Oct 1973 by the Importer Hoegen Dijkhof of Doetinchem to a client in Warmenhuizen. In 1981 the Unimog was traded in at the Hoegen Dijkhof company by this client, after which it was purchased by the last owner and used as a truck / tractor with which, among other things, counterweight elements for heavy telescopic cranes (100 to 300 tons) were transported on a low loader.
The Unimog engine and all systems in 1994/95 completely overhauled, the chassis is completely sandblasted and preserved both internally and externally, the body is completely refurbished and painted in an orange color. The aluminum body boards were also custom made and mounted by Carrosseriebouw bedrijf Ligthart in Schagerbrug.

Also, during this major overhaul, the wooden body floor was replaced with a 20 mm thick steel plate, which, due to this weight, gave the car a great stabilization and driving comfort improvement. The current color yellow with black accents was given to the car in 2003, this was provided by auto spray company Scheurwater in Den Helder.

Contrary to many such vehicles in the coastal areas, this Unimog has not been on the beach and has therefore never been in contact with salty sea water.

In all the years that this car has been owned by the current owner, the car has always been stored in a storage shed, which has benefited its condition.

From October 9, 2023, the car is exempted from the MOT inspection requirement.
