As exciting as it would be to have that vehicle, we in the U.S. are prohibited from owning it:smileeek:

Somebody across the pond will need to buy it.

Cheers,

Even if you imported it as a fire truck? No Duty on fire trucks but I suppose the 25yr rule probably still applies.

idea

It depends on what would be the purpose of this truck. If you want to keep it permanently in the US, forget about it. But if you want to build it into an expedition truck and travel the world with it (or at least go down to South America), just have it licensed in the U.K., see the world and sell it afterwords. You can keep it in the US with UK registration for one year, but than it has to leave the country...and eventually come again .......
Or am I wrong?

If you buy it, think about having a MB Unimog dealer in Germany add G20 (working gears) before it leaves Germany. Otherwise your lowest gear will be 9.57 x 6.53 ~ 62.5:1

I dont understand why these are so expensive (well this one yes as its a custom build) but an ex-utility U1300 can be got for about 5000 euros here in Ireland!

Not exactly the same vehicle

A mechanical 1300 and a U4000 although very similar looking they are VERY different. The newer version has electronic engine, cleaner, more powerful, CANBUS communications, electronic transmission, EAS capable (Automated transmission). You will get way better fuel mileage, lots of information/programming capabilities, better comfort. "Mechanically" they will be the same to the newbie.

As an analogy it would be like comparing a carburated engine vs an electronic fuel injected gas engine.

Wouldn't the ghosts tend to affect the ECU etc?

Good luck finding your truck

Ahha I didn't realize the 4x00 series was so different to the 1x00 series.
