Yes it is, I never thought I would say this I've owned and part owned and driven almost every model of Unimog from 401 to the new UGE unimogs. I love em they all have a purpose but I would say there's only a handful that suit my purposes.
I like to off-road, I use my Unimogs for work and for fun, I like to drive my Unimogs as a car so this is why I've bought the last Unimog I'll own. At the moment We have seven !! Soon to be four and here's why u34 411 for my heart, u1100 for fun, u900 406 dfor my head and the fact Brian won't let me sell it ! And now a u1450, the last one is because its my all round faverate model, why? Because it's not to big, it's stable off-road, it's quiet, powerful for its size, and she is fully loaded,😄
Only thing it doesn't have at the mow is rear linkage but I think I know we're I can find that, it does have the later hydrostatic drive, heated electric mirrors, heated windscreen, full cab sound proofing, Airconditioning, three way tipper with steel floor, front & rear pto, front Din plate with upper working lights , euro 2 163hp engine, four cell hydraulics, working group gearbox with later air shift, air assisted clutch, raised air intake and exhaust, air ride drivers seat, air trailer brakes with working 24v to 12v dropper, I'm sure I've missed something.
What would have capped it would have been Cti and 1"3/8 Pto shafts, the shafts I can change the Cti would be an Alex Price conversion as he has done this in the past but I can live without.
I don't have a car my wife has one of those! and I'm happy driving my Mogs 😄
We drove it to Cambridge last weekend a round trip of 300 miles and it returned 17 mpg not bad as I did anywhere between 50/55 mph. size wise it's about the same footprint as a u1100, noise wise I'd compare it to a Mercedes truck from the late 1990s and manuverability is Unimog (great). I take it to the gym, to morrisons and peoples faces are so funny when you back into a space and fit within the box, indeed my L200 pickup used to stick out of the box.
I'm itching to start work on her, but I'm working on the camper in readiness for our Breslua trip but here's some pictures.
