If it is the 2 tone coloured one then your fridge is Actually a rebadged "Engel" so it should last at leased 40 yearsI have an old ARB that I bought in the early 90s. It is still running like new but has a few dings on the metal exterior and looks far from new.
Yep, 2009 the Series 2 Blue and Grey ones came out,the metal exterior is a dead giveaway its an Engel, ARB went right to plastic when they started making their own..

Does anyone have a picture of the ARB that was made by Engel? I'd like to find a used one.
Thank you very much. What a cool looking unit. I will keep an eye out, but not my hopes upI would think I'd have tons of pics of my fridge, but I don't.... I did dig up some old ones..
Engel still sells these models which are essentially unchanged except for some electronics updates.

With Engel AC/DC powered fridges you'll never need to buy ice again, they run on the car’s 12v battery and auto switch to 110v*. They have the world’s best compressor, the Sawafuji Swing Compressor, allows for...engelcoolers.com

What a magic machine! The battered but recognisable Engel in the photo is testament to how tough these fridges are.www.snowys.com.au
Here is my MT35 shortly after I got it in 2010

Here it is with the transit cover, and the "TwoZone" addition adding 15L but it doesn't chill the top section.

Thank you very much. What a cool looking unit. I will keep an eye out, but not my hopes up. I just ordered an MT45 yesterday and should have it in +/- 4 days. I couldn't find (and didn't know what I was looking for) a picture of the Engel ARB anywhere online.
