The Appeal

Among Mercedes-Benz's most celebrated light commercials, the 'cab-over' O319 proved exceedingly versatile in period. Today, vehicles of this nature can prove a little challenging to use, but not this one. Allow us to explain...

Upgraded with a Toyota 1KZ 3-litre turbodiesel engine and four-speed automatic gearbox, the driving of this O319 has been greatly improved. In fact, the owner tell us they drive it most days. The interior too has been much upgraded, with custom tan upholstery, premium audio and air conditioning.

Offered in very smart order and brimming with potential as a camper van or minibus, this reimagined classic commercial would be a superb addition to any driveway.
