Hi everyone,
I have been a fan of Unimogs since I worked on the farm in my summer holidays, back in the late 1970's. It is quite amazing looking at the new models, they are fantastic, but also cost a fortune!
Eventually found this extremely informative Forum and signed up and I have already learnt quite a bit. As there are so many Members who are experts and have a huge knowledge of Unimogs, I hope that I can ask their advice/guidance.
I have been working abroad for many years, but now I am based in the South East. I am considering/"dreaming", of buying an old 404 and in time converting it into a Campervan. This would probably be more of a "home", as we would like to travel extensively across Wales, Ireland and Scotland. So would need to be able to live off-grid, with solar, shower etc etc.
Before I even start to look seriously, is it still possible to import a 1960's Unimog 404 Firetruck into the UK. Then, more importantly register it legally as a campervan/motorhome, once the conversion has been finished? I have attached a photo of a 404 currently for sale, which is the style I prefer.
Thanks in advance
Tommy
