1983 model U1700 Mercedes-Benz Unimog

Only 52,700km since we originally completed the conversion and restoration!

We have got this absolute beast for sale! You might remember it, this is an older Unidan build that was actually our demo model. Since then it has been upgraded and modified which is just the cherry on top. 

Here at Unidan Engineering we have developed an innovative system that enables us to convert a single cab into a 5, 6 or 7 seat DOKA, while simultaneously increasing the physical strength of the cab. The roof has been raised to allow for greater headroom, overhead consoles and more storage, and integrating the air conditioning system into this space eliminates the need for a roof top unit. This DOKA is now a very comfortable family tourer.  The cab has been modified ready for the addition of an expedition/motorhome body, with a legal crawl-through built into the rear wall (mandatory to register a motorhome in most states). The crawl-through opening is sealed and can remain that way if you want to use the vehicle as a truck. 

This MOG is a can't miss build that is seriously awesome. The spec list should be classed as a novel!
