Description

Mercedes-Benz Unimog 2010 from 1951. This was the first year of Unimog production by Mercedes-Benz. It is a very early example with chassis number 893. The Unimog is in original condition and has never been overhauled. One of 160 Unimog vehicles delivered to the Swiss Army in 1951, where this model was affectionately known as “Dieseli.” Originally, the Swiss Army vehicles were painted in the color “Shadow Black,” but in the early 1960s the army switched to olive green, and the vehicles were coated with olive-green paint. (Source: www.dieseli.ch)

The original black color can still be seen beneath areas where the olive-green paint has flaked off. The Unimog shows patina and traces of military repairs, but has no rust-through. The frame is in excellent condition. Unimogs from the early production phase did not yet have a Mercedes star on the hood. The canvas roof and side windows are probably still original. The roof has holes; I am deliberately leaving it as it is so that the vehicle remains as authentic as possible. Unfortunately, the original tow rope that was attached to the hood is missing.

Everything works mechanically, the engine runs well and does not smoke. The drives and axle differentials are functional. Despite its 25 hp, the Unimog drives quite smoothly; it has two low-range and four high-range gears. The gearbox is not yet synchronized. The tires are very old, and a mechanical service would be advisable; I leave that to the new owner.

The Swiss Unimog documents have been preserved. The military number 30890 on the windshield, key, and vehicle registration document matches. In recent years, the vehicle was part of an off-road collection. Due to its original state of preservation and early year of manufacture, I consider it a one-of-a-kind vehicle.

I can send interested parties additional photos or videos via WhatsApp. Transport possible.
