Don't know anything else, except it's cool, will be very slow, and can be run very well on used vegetable oil -:)

Welcome, Plantdriver! Thanks for bringing this to ExPo readers.

This mind-bending project is amazingly cool! Here's a photo of the vehicle before the camper was mounted

Because the engine is from a 1982 Mercedes passenger car (read: more than 25 years old, and a model that was imported to USA), there should be no problem importing this vehicle to USA.

Assuming the asking price is in Canadian dollars, $8200 CAN = $8075 US
