Unimog value

[Hjwise]

My brother has his 1981 Unimog on eBay for £10000. Not much interest so far which surprised me - is it priced too high?

Was going to put it in the classifieds, but not sure how to go about it - insufficient privileges?

a friend sold a very tidy restored on for between 15-20ish so its not far out i guess, i reality they are not much use except fun and polishing nowerdys

This is far cooler than a Defender and yet isn't worth as much money as one of those fudging things?

I’ve been trying to justify it for myself a lot, but I’ve got too many projects on the go!

Has it got the link arms for the rear 3 point linkage?

Yes, I believe so.

A mate has a crane on his too.

Which gearbox options?

Tempting......

Front linkage and a pto with a chipper ,they are so versatile

What would it cost to add a rear linkage and pto? Looks like it has neither.

I've been thinking of replacing my defender with one of these for a while, diesel will probably be outlawed by the time that happens though

It has the rear cross shaft etc so just wants a set of arms, the PTO come out that hole high up and you then have a banana box you put on when you want to use it. Banana boxes are expensive and hard to come by.

Lack of hydraulic pick up hitch will be a major put off for most people.

Also the cab is not a saftey cab, just a removeable glass fibre top/back, these had a optional removeable roll over frame.

The 3 way tipper is a plus though, them 3 way rams are expensive and hard to come by also.

Have you ever sat in a mog of this vintage?

It makes a defender seem like a Rolls Royce,my brother has one similar to the one posted,they take marmite to another level.

He has the lift arms and pto centralising box to go with it.
