Hi Joe, and welcome to UCUK.

I've known your mog for a while now. Didn't have any real contact with it's previous owner, but knew the one before that. There are a couple of videos of it already posted on the forum somewhere - if you like I can find them and link them in for you to watch?

It's good to see that it's back being used properly. If there's one positive I can say though, it's that the fella I know who had it looked after it pretty well I think and didn't abuse it. He's the one who uprated most of the bits on it, and also taught me a bit about servicing. He would have kept on top of that which is handy to know! It was actually the first Unimog I ever had the pleasure of being driven around in, and a nice one it is too.

It's nice to know where the old girl is, and that she's still ok. I too would love to see pictures or a video of her working if you have a chance to take a few at some point.

Hi njc110381

I have done some research on her and found a couple of videos of her at core4x4 and one of her falling over onto her left side.
I've found picture of her with a rear winch, rear drop blade, hoist jib and the turbo going on. If you have any more id be grateful if you could post them on here or send me the link, it would be nice to know more about her history and trace her back through to see what she has done in her life.

I'm cutting again Tomorrow so will take some pictures and videos, probably wont load them till the weekend hot, busy busy.

Nice to hear she had been looked after, the guy i bought her off said much the same and it shows in how she drives and works.

Thanks again for the info.
Joe
