Most of our contacts are in Europe or dealers in the UK. By the sounds of it you want a 416 with high ratio axles 👍moose

I appreciate the advice. What budget would I need for a 416 with high ratio axles? A ballpark would help please - thanks in advance.

Are they on the for sale page? I am looking for one as well.
What model ?  Mick and for what purpose as this is more important off-roader implement carrier motorhome we don’t sell Unimog but know off plenty for sale 😀

It might be an idea for the owner to put the Mogs for sale either on here or the FB page Moose? These are pretty niche outside of commercial use.


I like the look of the older Mogs and want one that is road legal (with half decent modern traffic speed) to drive from an urban location to things like pay 'n' play days.

Hi Dandy and welcome to the forum :)

Any Ideas of a budget for a Unimog?

Cheers, Brian

Hi Brian - many thanks - lots of useful info here.

I don't have a firm budget - it will largely depend on the vehicle. I am collating information and average values for the type of Mogs I like. There seems to be some good value ones on the continent.

Yes you will be able to drive a 406 on your current licence.
The law does not differentiate between vehicle types,just the vehicle weight,

Thanks for the confirmation - much appreciated.

The Govt guidance was a bit misleading.

Hi Gents,

Thanks for the pointers - my preference is more towards the 406.

Quick question - apologies in advance if its daft - do I need a HGV to drive a 406? I have a Grandfather rights C1 licence, which permits me to drve up to 7.5 tonne. The only reason I ask is becasue the Guidance from HMG only seemed to recognize agricultural Unimogs (driven on a B licence) or a 'HGV' Unimog which was driven on a C (HGV) licence.

Thanks in advance  :)

Hi Everyone I just thought I would say hello and that I am looking forward to eventually scratching a long term itch and getting a Mog.

This resource is fantastic and there are some great Mogs out there - really enjoying reading the stories and journeys these thing have with you all!

Cheers!

Dandy
