In Portugal you will find them with some ease
Thanks for the tip. I have seen a lot of Bedford and wondered if I could buy one. But this Unimog is definitively a car I would like to buy to be able to reach some parts of the country (praias, pequenas estradas na floresta...). And I never thought any. Perhaps in the North ? I will check

Some TT trial enthusiasts like the unimog for their ground clearance... Try to scout some TT clubs aroud

In my country, car price is very expensive because the tax. We need to pay about 150%-250% of the original price. In 2013, I bought an old SUV Chevrolet Captiva 2010 (over 30,000 km) for more than $26,000. Oh, and the same for motorbike too! It's really hurt.

I won't list the cars that I buy, build, and sell, that wouldn't be fair. Although I do keep one from time to time and sell one of my personal cars instead. Currently, I have a 2009 volvo c30, and 1990 nissan 300zx twin turbo, and a 1994 dodge stealth R/T.

Current project car is a 1971 chevy monte carlo.

I have my Dad's Rover25 (left it to me when he died)! Yes hardly sexy, but I can just about get my Double Bass in the back, that's what matters to me:) He hardly used it so has very few miles on it, Another couple of years and I will change it.

Me, I currently drive an older BMW 320, my previous car was the Audi A4 Turbo.
I once built an Escort Cosworth dynoed at 403BHP, I had to sell that car because it was going to kill myself in it.

Below we have a photograph of me driving a Ferrari on a race experience day:
Check it out, I'm perfectly touching the apex with my near side wheels. I've also driven a single seater on a race experience day too, I'll being doing that again this year :)

My current dream car, hey well that would be the McLaren 650s :)
Last year I jumped onto the McLaren website and put together the car that I would love to order if I had the money, below is a digital representation of the car and options that I selected. Yes I selected the wheels, paint, carbon accents outside, carbon finish interior, dark grey leather seats to match the wheels, carbon wing mirrors the lot.

I hope that you like my dream car below, all I have to do now is win the lottery and order it...

Any one familiar with this vehicle:
23189462.jpg
?

We had a Unimog 421 (1968) for many years.


It's a Unimog 400 series designed by Daimler-Benz (renamed to Mercedes sometime in the 1990's) after WW2, I think that they were originally designed around 1945, 1946 or 1947. They did a few models in the 400 series (4xx). That's all I remember about these things. Oh yes, they lasts for years and hardly ever break down. A good conditioned early model is worth a lot of money, more than I can afford.

1. I watch a lot of classic car and vehicles shows
2. I go to a lot of classic car and vehicles shows too :)
3. I go to a lot of air shows too :p

I've just found photo's of one my old speed demons, and yes that is a carbon fibre bonnet and rear spoiler. The sound system that I put in this beast was just ridiculously insanely loud too. This car was nowhere near as cool as my old Cossie(Escort Cosworth) though. My friend is in the background taking photos too. These photo were taken just before I sold the car for a slower plainer looking car. I lot of engine mods went into this car, but even more engine mods went into my Cossie project.

I'm older and more mature these days, and I've turned boring with my car choice too...
