I bought it in 2009 as we relocated to South Africa and have been travelling around up to now with our daughter. Mostly in Southern and Eastern Africa.
Our project is now completed and we must sell our second home..

Purchased by the Nato Army and sold, in 1990 , to the Dakar Rallye organization.
Then was sold , in 94 to a private ownerwho built the body for a round the world expedition. Then a second owner bought it in 2005 who modified it for another round the world family of 4 trip.
The idea is a go anywhere vehicle to be complete self sufficient even for a full month in the desert, with food, water, energy, …with a range of 2000KM+ there is almost no limits to where this beast can go.Chassis is extremely Strong and this is one of the most robust and capable vehicle ever made.

The load´s capcity is phenomenal, and we hardly see a difference when we add 1 Ton to the payload.I made some modifications to have easy access to all what is technical to be sure everything is simple to fix.

There is not lot of vehicle comparable to this setup, available in 2024 .Even the new Unimogs .
Everything will be more complicated and difficult to fix /repairs when something goes wrong,
It can be compared to a boat, not to a camper/RV.
Left hand drive ( can be converted to right hand drive ) , actually located in South Africa, under Carnet de Passage , registered in Germany . It can be shipped by Roro to most destination.
