Due to unforeseen circumstances, our treasured Unimog fire truck "Hans" is for sale.
Hans was retired from the volunteer fire brigade in Rickling, northern Germany, in November 2015. We brought the truck into the UK in April 2016 after buying it from VK Cars in Belgium.
The truck is registered in the UK with DVLA, and it is HGV plated.
It is in amazing condition those German fire volunteers really love their trucks!

Like most vehicles this age, Hans has had few attacks from the rust monster. The driver and passenger footwells were the parts most badly hit. We have removed the rusted metal, treated the remaining original metal, and fixed new plates in place.
We have recently treated and filled some rust attack under the amber beacons on the cab roof.Otherwise the metal construction overall is very, very sound.
There is small area of water damage to the plywood floor of the rear part of the cab, where fire crew have dumped wet equipment into the seat box over the years. We have fixed piece of sound plywood over this area.
The driver's door locks from the inside but not from the outside needs new lock (£30-odd from Atkinson Vos).
Any independent inspection welcome before end of listing.International buyers must contact us before bidding.All buyers please note you must arrange pickup or shipping yourself.
NB: As it stands, the truck will test next June as an HGV. If it is fitted out as camper/motorhome, it will NOT need to be HGV plated, and will be able to be MOT'd as Class - i.e. normal car!
NB: buyer MUST have C1 entitlement on driving license as vehicle is 7.5 tonnes GVW.
More photographs available on request.
So get bidding, people! We bought Hans for awesome overland adventures. He is reliable, cute, and tough as old boots.
