23 NATO U435 MOGS FOR SALE IN DURBAN! 2 Remaining

Martin Steyn has purchased a small fleet of mogs gathered from all over the EU.  Martin writes:
Camo%20(Closed%20Body)%20Left%20Hand%20Side%20Quarter%20View.jpg
All are of the U435 type. The model years vary from 1984 to 1988 while the engines are either the turbo (OM366A) motor or the non-turbo version. Majority of the turbo units have the fast axles. All have the 8 speed gearbox with diff locks on both axles. Most of the units have been 'preserved' in large hangers with preservation oil in the engine, gearbox, diffs etc and a preservation product applied under the chassis is still visible.
Chassis.jpg
The vehicles where kept in this condition, seldom driven and preserved for the Cold War that never happened.  
Camo%20(Closed%20Body)%20Right%20Three%20Quarter%20View.jpg
On the closed rear body; the body is insulated, inside there are integrated lights, the side steps are automatic and operate pneumatically. In the rear is a stand alone heater with a separate battery compartment for auxiliary power if wanted. In the roof of the rear body are 3 air vents with the third integrated with an additional light fitting. The 4 stretcher beds can be removed while there are numerous cupboards and storage shelves. There are sliding windows between the front cab and the rear body. There are also numerous external under body compartments and a 2 x jerry can holder. 
Camo%20(Closed%20Body)%20Right%20Rear%20Side%20with%20Door%20Closed.jpg
The drop down version has the Mercedes rear bin. There is no heater or cupboards etc. There are under body compartments.
Camo%20(Drop%20Side)%20Front%20Left%20Quarter%20View.jpg
In the cab; the is a large hatch in the roof where a passenger can stand (on the drop-down seat back) and look through. Most vehicles have a spot light on the dash with an extension cable allowing it to be extended out of a side window. There is an isolator switch cutting all electrical power to the vehicle (except the rear body which has it's own power source). A fantastic feature of these vehicles are the military trip switches that replace the conventional fuses at the top of the dashboard. All vehicles come standard with the 1.2 meter fording depth which is again a non-standard feature. There is some under seat storage on the passenger side.
Dashboard.jpg
The military lights and ,where applicable, the medical crosses on the bodies will be painted over. The rotating flashing lights on the top front and rear of the rear body are removed but retained should the buyer wish to return them to their original condition (although the position of these lights would make for a wonderful position for working lights - remembering that the power is already there).There is an industrial type tow hitch at the back with air brake connectors for the trailer.

The mileage on the vehicles vary from 15000 km's to 35000 km's - they are in very good condition (even without taking the model year into account).
