Like the way they say “2 x50gallon tanks to get you out of the woods“, yes but may not get much further with the 6 ltr gas gussler 🤪🤪

You don't need a vehicle like that to have an adventure. Two friends of mine drove a Hillman Imp from Joburg to Coventry
. I've driven to Mongolia twice, once in a Suzuki SJ410 and then 3 years later in a Transit.

Saw this brute at Tournus back in the summer. Swiss registered. Wonder if he really climbed the Alps with it.

One of my Landrovers did 15 -18 mpg and was considerably cheaper for parts. You could fix most things on a my Landrovers with fairly basic tools. I believe Unimogs are not easy to maintain and are Merc prices for bits.

A work colleague is currently building a Unimog 7.5t before he retires. He’s moved to a 4 day week so we can work on his project the other 3 days, recons the total budget will around 300k once he’s done. He’s using and making himself a carbon internal bulkhead and bonnet. Going to up to see it in the new year to see where he’s up to but i think he plans 2 more years on it….

3yrs old and it's already done 68,000mls, hardly believable? Someone must have a lot of money for fuel? :unsure:

I’ll stick to my Land Rover 130 which I’m in the middle of converting thanks.
