The Unimog was mainly produced for military purposes. The first model made, the Unimog 70200, was already used by the Swiss army. Later, the French army followed. The Unimog proved so successful at its job that the French military demanded a Unimog designed just for the military.

Mercedes created the Unimog 404s. After the first army Unimog, more other types for military service followed: the 405.110, 419 (for the USA), U1300 and the 426.

The 404 is not an agricultural vehicle but more of a small off-road vehicle. The Mercedes-Benz designed the 404S as a military vehicle but also as a fire engine. Many of these small off-road Unimogs were produced between 1955 and 1980.

This example started its adventure in 1968 as a service vehicle in the Swiss army. It was imported to the Netherlands 30 years after its production.
Shortly afterwards, the cylinder head was modified from low compression to high compression. This results in more power. In addition, harder valves from a passenger car also apply, which ensures that the engine runs more smoothly. The engine runs on both petrol and LPG.

It is in beautiful original condition. Both the bottom and the outside are hard and nicely rust-free. The interior is in a beautiful original condition and is really a look back in time.

One of the most unique aspects of Unimogs is their portal axles. The multi-speed drivetrain, flexible frame design and unique coil-suspension torque tube make the Unimog unbeatable in unparalleled terrain.

Neat and original is how this Unimog should be seen. It runs smoothly and comfortably and simply provides a unique driving experience.
