The appeal
Originally designed for military and agricultural use, the Mercedes-Benz Unimog is among the most iconic utility vehicles ever produced. Its off-road ability is unmatched, allowing it to go as easily through woodland as it can in highly specialised professional applications.
This versatility has earned it a strong reputation with collectors. Finding one today that has remained in original, unmodified configuration is becoming increasingly rare.
This 1960 example is presented in green paint with a black interior. The bodywork, like the rest of the vehicle, shows wear that’s consistent with its age—typical of genuine, lived-in working use.
Having been maintained by enthusiasts and benefitting from a recent recommissioning, this 404 represents an interesting opportunity for fans of authentic off-road machinery.
NOTE: C1 License: Light heavy vehicle category license required to drive this truck

BEFORE YOU BUY
This sale is subject to Car & Classic’s standard terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, meaning that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s standard terms and conditions.
✓ We require that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful bidder or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and standard terms and conditions for the specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “sold as is”, on a “as it is, where it is” basis and with no warranty. The photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it is standard practice to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer’s deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just as you do—and that’s why UK-registered cars and motorcycles listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to confirm they have no database markers for insurance write-offs or theft, and that they are not subject to a financial charge, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off following a total loss claim when the advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we provide category write-off labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it’s always useful to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer.
✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may involve additional customs duties and import taxes. If you’d like, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can help. For more details and to speak with the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
