Unimog Club UK

It almost time for the summer annual meeting for the Unimog Veteran club.

Who's going?

Looks good. I need to start making a few pilgrimages to these events. Not sure the mrs would enjoy it but hey, I take her shopping often enough!

I have recently arrived back from the Unimog summer meeting at Immensen Germany.
As usual for these German shows, plenty of top quality unimogs on display, with some people travelling for many days to arrive and show off their vehicles.
I enclose a few pictures to give an idea of the show.

Plenty of traders selling both new genuine and repro parts for the early unimogs




Some rusty used stuff as well




Some unimogs looked better than new




One of the many rows of lovely unimogs


A bit of off road, but not for the faint hearted


Accessories




Time well spent if you like the older stuff.

Moose I did here about the auction and by all accounts from the guys at the show the double cab was not as clean as the one in my photos. Some of these unimogs really do change hands for big money.
I took the VW over as it makes light work of driving so many miles. Now with cruise control
The same show will be further south in Germany next year, but I just might drive down in the 411.

Nice to see the doka as mine looked when I got it nearly twenty years ago. Brian sent me a link recently for one that sold in auction for over 60k ! And I thought I didn't have a pension 
We'll be going over next year to that one did you go in the van ?

This will make you shed a tear, a mate of mine had a doka similar to that, an ex military one, they sold it on and the next owner cut the cab down, to make it back to a standard cab.

UPDATE: Sold for €82,800 (£65,680)

  That for a super standard mog. High ratio hubs must fetch a fair bit, assuming it has them.
