Hi I would like to introduce my self, My name is Ian Oliver and currently my job is Workshop Supervisor at Atkinson Vos and I am surrounded by Mogs every day. I have been an integral part of the Gerard Bredenoord project to produce an excellent camper.
I have also managed two other camper projects to date and oversee daily repairs and restoration projects on various Unimogs.

Greetings and welcome to the forum.

Do you own drive a mog or are you happy to leave them behind when you finish work for the day.

Do you ever see the old unimogs in the work shop or is life at work all about fixing newer bigger models.

I've never seen 411 parts for sale on the web shop.

Welcome to the forum Ian. So, you get to mess around with Unimogs on a daily basis and get paid for it? I'm not jealous, honest! :D

It's good to see an employee of a company we'll all recognise on the forum - something tells me there may be a few questions heading your way in the future!

I don't drive a Mog (sadly) and yes I get to see them as what some people would perceive as scrap metal but my BRILLIANT team can turn these ugly ducklings into swans.
