Nostalgia!

1979 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406.

Forget G-Wagons, the Unimog startet it all—way back in 1946. In case you do not share the author’s infantile enthusiasm for Unimogs, here are some facts for you:

• they are rare • they are expensive • they have a climbing ability of 110% • they have a fording depth of 1,2 m • they are available as convertibles :) • they have their own museum • they won Ralley Paris-Dakar • they are used by more than 20 militaries, including the United States Marine Corps • they have a modular gear box with multiple transmission ratios—forwards and backwards • they can be equipped with contractor equipment on all sides • they are the only vehicles used by farmers, municipalities, NGO’s, police forces, railway companies, fire fighters and Berlin hipsters alike
