Unimog 417 Expedition Vehicle

Description

Unimog 417 Expedition Vehicle

It was with a heavy heart that we decided to sell our Unimog.

Our “MogMog” was always a faithful companion on many of our trips.

Thousands of kilometers across Europe, to unforgettable places where a normal vehicle would have given up long ago.

Not least, on our biggest trip through Morocco, the Western Sahara, and Mauritania, it safely took us over 10,000 km to our destination—right through the middle of the Sahara at 45°C in the shade.

The Unimog was professionally converted and outfitted in 2004 by a former workshop called “Dakar Shop” and was later used as a support vehicle for the Dakar Rally.

There is complete documentation of the vehicle dating back to the purchase of the chassis. All drawings, receipts, and operating manuals are organized in folders. Even the original blueprints for the bodywork, drawn on graph paper, are available.

I have carefully continued to maintain this documentation.

In the meantime, I’ve had it certified as a classic car

The Unimog is ready to drive immediately. I will renew the TÜV certification before selling it.

The vehicle is equipped with all spare parts, oils, and diesel and gasoline cans.

From spare fuses to spare light bulbs, filters, and V-belts, everything is on board.

All camping and off-road equipment is also included.

As it’s currently equipped and being sold, the vehicle was on the road in Africa for 3 months. So everything you need is included.

I’d be happy to provide more information upon request… though it’s a very long list ;)

I know this vehicle inside and out and have spent years repairing, maintaining, and modifying it. There isn’t a single grease fitting I don’t know ;)

So if any questions come up after the purchase, there’s probably none I can’t answer.

All of the vehicle’s documentation is included with the sale. I’m also happy to include the original workshop manual (3 binders), both in print and digitally.

I’m happy to include all my personal notes, such as lubrication schedules and maintenance intervals.

It’s a very special vehicle that more than deserves to continue exploring the world of off-roading!

The transmission is a 3x4-speed (4 reverse, 4 low-range, 4 high-range) with pneumatically controlled four-wheel drive and a differential lock

The transmission has been completely overhauled; I replaced the release and pilot bearings as a precaution

The installed sintered metal clutch is extremely durable (all tested ;) )

Living Area

The living area consists of a steel frame and fiberglass panels. Under normal circumstances, the structure would easily survive being tipped over.

The living area features a kitchenette, a dining area, a sleeping area, and a bathroom with a shower and a chemical toilet.

At the front of the alcove, there is ample storage space for everything you need on your trip

With the built-in onboard battery and the solar panels on the roof, you’re completely self-sufficient.

Optionally, the battery can be charged via shore power or the alternator. A 230V converter is installed.

In the rear section, under the bed, there is a large storage compartment accessible from both sides via two hatches. Each hatch can be secured horizontally with two struts. (See pictures)
