We receivied this lovely little U900 DOKA today. Sadly due to engine and gearbox issues it probably won't live again! However it's spirit will live on in other Unimogs where it's parts are used!

When Sam Booth's U1100 rolled into our yard it had been consuming nearly as much oil as diesel or it's journey from Munich! We fitted a fully reconditioned engine to 130HP with a new clutch and overhauled brakes to make it ready for Sam's journey down to Greece where he is currently living. Same made it down with no hassles at all!

South African Pierre Theron is an ambititious man! Not content with carrying out one full resto on a U900 he's doing two at once! Mind you as he says "out here rust is not a problem, but sunburn is". If only that were true here in Bentham.. Both are being returned to original specification and will roll out of his workshop looking better than new. We have supplied various new parts to help complete the restorations. Pierre has promised that he will keep us up to date with progress, so we'll be looking forward to some updates.

Richard Tocher collected his U1600Ag from us recently. He drove the Unimog home to Aberdeen; on the run the consumption was a very credible 18 miles per gallon! Try doing that in a FastTrac! The photo was taken a few weekends ago when Richard was completing some timber operations.

Our workshop supervisor Michael is carefully loading a U1200 destined for Dursley in Gloucestershire. The Unimog will have a new life towing plant and equipment for the owners groundworks business.

I get more and more envious of people who live down-under! Especially when they have a great collection of Mogs and a fantastic garage to work on them in! Mind you - the weather in the photo looks more English than Australian! The picture was sent to us by Rob who is a friend of Scott Rowan's (see earlier article). There are now five ex swiss army 404s hooning about in the vicinity as well as Scotts U1100 and U1700.

We've recently sold this U100L37 double cab Unimog to Unimog enthusiast Alan Kelly in North Wales. It will be joining another U1100, a 1250 and a 411 - almost a complete set!

Bruno Coste drove all the way from Northern France for us to work our magic on his Unimog U1300L. Bruno is a lucky man! He gets two holidays per year in Africa with his family and he's bought a lovely Unimog which has covered only 10000kms during it’s life as a fire engine in a Chemical factory! We fitted a turbo together with appropriate manifold, rocker cover and exhaust etc. This has made the Unimog much more lively and has upgraded the power from 130 - 150HP. All in all it's a very worthwhile upgrade for non-turbo Unimogs and it is of course much cheaper than buying a replacement vehicle with more power.

This U1600 was originally supplied to Welsh Water for towing a vacuum tanker. Simon Gleed of Gleed Services in Monmouth bought the Unimog for use in drilling work. We carried out a full service on the Mog as well as some repairs and fitted a new Atkinson Vos pick-up hitch (see Accessories section). The guys at Gleed Services are really chuffed witth the results and say that the Unimog has been "transformed" after it's time in our workshop.
