It is with a heavy heart, that I offer up for sale my Unimog 404.
A short description of the vehicle is below
started as a rusty 2 door, converted to 4 door DOKA using genuine Mercedes parts, and using a later 1964 cab. it has good tyres on it, converted to full LPG using 'gotpropane' system, so its totally dependent on LPG, it runs fantastically on this, has all of its 82HP, starts on the button. runs nice, will max out at 60MPH and run all day long. It truly is a very good running and driving Unimog.
Other Unimog Owners have commented on its excellent road manners, and performance (Hi)
It has a 6 foot square bed on the back made from 50x25 RHS and scaffold boards, I've had two tonne in the back on it.
it has a tubular frame to fit a roof to, this is as far as I have got, and currently run it with a piece of old canvas as a 'bikini top'
I've owned it seven years - nearly eight, I was planning on keeping it and continuously working on it.
Its a blast to drive round, people wave at you in delight.
Tax free
MOT exempt - it iss registered correctly as a historic truck so no issues with agri DVLA thing
Insurance for me is £124 including recovery and agreed value - with Hagerty classic policy
I have recently fitted a PTO to it, and acquired a PTO driven winch to mount on the front or back, If I get what I am asking I will include these in the sale, If I don't get what I want for it (the asking price), the gearbox plate will be re fitted and the PTO and winch removed for a separate sale. - these are rare to find item for a 404.
There's loads I could say about it, but probably better to ask me a question or better still come and view. it
It will come with a large amount of spares, including brand new XZL tyre with a spare rim, engine spares, odds and sods I've collected over the years, service items, spare ignition system, door tops, doors, I've never thrown anything away that i've replaced, so there's all sorts there. I will include some of the specialist Unimog sized tools that you need for certain jobs too.
It has recently had a new civilian distributor cap and leads/plugs installed, this had improved the driving experience even further. this was not a cheap item, and I did wince at the cost, but it was worth it.
In the spares package there is a good Unimog radiator to install, a spare that needs a pin hole braized up (my fault its there, I dropped a screw driver with the engine running) Its currently running on a volvo radiator, but the original could just as easily go on. I didnt do it, as the hump hose on the top was a bit rough looking, and wanted to source a new one first ( I bought two so I had an additional spare item)
If you wonder what the runnign costs are, I can say that it does about 12MPG but less if you are driving high speeds on the motorway, the LPG tanks both cost about £30 to fill up each - never more than that. - you should get a few hundred miles on that.
If your local to Romsey I guess I could deliver - once payment is secured, or if you are any further I would stick it on a low loader. Not because it wouldn't make it, but spending hours in the Unimog cab on motorways is noisy and expensive - a low loader would be easier on the ears and cheaper per mile.,- especially if its your first time Unimog ownership.
I've used it to drive to my brothers place near Portsmouth on a round trip done two or three times in one day, with about a ton in each time, and it was fine.
It needs to be filled up at an LPG pump only. I'm lucky I have one within a mile or so. It also has a FLT hose connector if you want to run it off fork lift bottles instead.
I should state that i would take cash on collection or bank transfer only. If you want to do a cheque it needs to clear before collection.
