Hi all My wife has decided that off road travel is no longer her thing, so Betty Buster our faithful van is for sale. Built in 1993 for the Norwegian police and used as a command vehicle for the winter Olympics in Lillihamer, then not used much as 60 thousand kms on the clock when I got it...

Hi Bean I also love Unimogs to drive, great fun, but something no-one has mentioned here is that they are very tall, which makes climbing in and out of the cab and the habitation a chore, travelling in the bush a pain and driving across inclines scary. I have an 814 DA which is a bit too slow...

Hi Nigel I would have thought a RHD might go better on the Hubb Just a thought. Bruce

Hi all I had to get a new vin as the plate was different to the chassis number, several phone calls to Mercedes and I think £70, got a new one, easy. Enjoying your build, I must finish mine soon! Bruce

Hi Grape Not sure what I am looking at, I can't make out where the pipe with the rusty nut on the left goes. The 3 wavy lines mean cab heater, so I think that is the very thing, but don't know why it has a return. Cheers Bruce

Hi all Back again, that didn't last long! I gave the wrong address, should have been old folksboogietour.com some good pics there. Now to start saving for the next one Cheers Bruce

Pre trip nerves Thanks Ullie Hoping the van gets there in one piece, they insisted the back was left open in case of fire Byee Bruce

Thanks all and pics Thanks Anton Sort of, but not really any other way to make best use of space, water under the table I used but the shower/toilet is in front of kitchen. Best Bruce

Bits Hi Richard I have just taken mine off as I am going to fit an extra fuel tank there, all bits available from Bristol. Cheers Bruce

Plastics it is! Thank you all Plastic it is, I have tried some JG stuff and seems fine, and I can get it from Tool Station down the road, only 12 weeks to finish it all, doesn't time fly! Bruce
