Description from the seller

GENERAL
For the enthusiast, collector or investor we offer this beautiful and extremely original Mercedes-Benz Unimog 406 Agricultural Convertible from 1969. It concerns a rare appearance in the original agricultural version with convertible roof, executed in the authentic color scheme that nowadays is still seldom encountered. This specific 406 series, produced between 1963 and 1989, is historically known as the backbone of the medium-duty Unimog line and introduced at the time the powerful six-cylinder engines to meet the rising agricultural demand. Because of its original configuration, low running hours and thorough cosmetic restoration, this is an exemplar that strongly distinguishes itself from the current market. This Mercedes-Benz Unimog is therefore exceptionally suitable for agricultural use, events, collectors or as a value-preserving investment.

BODYWORK & PAINT
The cabin, the bodywork and the tipping bed were fully sandblasted in 2024 and professionally spray-painted in a high-quality 2K paint. The chassis was also fully repainted at that time, leaving the vehicle in a very neat and well-maintained condition. The vehicle is furthermore equipped with a new three-way hydraulic tipping bed and retains the characteristic, original convertible roof.

TECHNICAL
Technically the unit remains in a fully original condition. The Unimog is equipped with the reliable and iconic Mercedes-Benz OM352 six-cylinder diesel engine, which has only 4,200 original operating hours registered, equivalent to about 73,000 kilometers. Recently the machine has been fitted with a brand-new clutch and pressure plate. Moreover, as of June 2026 the Unimog is equipped with four completely new tires.

PICKUP
The vehicle can be picked up in Kloosterhaar, the Netherlands. Optional transport of the Unimog is possible by arrangement.

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
