Thank you and your friend Patrick for sharing! That looks like a fun little truck, you could see Patrick was proud of it.

You speak slowly , clearly , c’est un plaisir de perfectionner son anglais technique en t’écoutant !

Absolutely beautiful little Unimog. The 404 & 406 are definitely my favorite trucks of all time and you can still see them on the road in Africa.

[@OliverPickard]

They are a fantastic bit of kit

[@Niemand411]

It is not a 404 Unimog it is a 411

[@Perkelenaattori]

@@Niemand411 I know and didn't say it was one. Just that they're my favorite trucks.

[@Niemand411]

Sorry then! i personally have an 411.117 and love it to bits.

[@Perkelenaattori]

@@Niemand411 Congratulations. It's a lovely light duty truck. :)

[@design.hessen5238]

Very cool Unimog. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@OliverPickard]

Thank you for watching

[@mrbwa1]

Held my breath every time you grabbed the wheel thinking “thumbs out” the whole time. That thing off road will snap your thumbs right off.

[@OliverPickard]

I always drive with my thumbs out even in my 2cv I've always driven old cars are know better

[@OtiKist]

Fantastic!! What a machine!! Seems like everything from 1963 is perfect!!😊😎 And what a nice guy that Patrick!

[@OliverPickard]

Lovely chap

[@guyderagisch4964]

My father had a '62 just like that one. He had tons of stories of where it would take him.

[@mindrivencarclub9403]

Ha ha ha...love it, Love the old unimogs, looks like you do to! Keep them coming! William Mindriven 🙌🏻

[@gerryaddison8677]

Really enjoyed that Oliver, well done and thank you.

[@charlescampbell453]

I hate to do this but you are off on your specs they were designed much earlier I believe 1946/47 They were designed for the farmer originally it's not a two stroke diesel it's 4 stroke. I own one. Also you can check it all out there is Unimog museum and they have a website.

[@pwatom22]

It is a tractor.. UNIversal-MOtor-Gerät", Gerät being the German word for a piece of equipment.. see wikipedia. Lot's of fun but later more useable ones for travel adventures are pretty big and not cheap to own/run. Big truck repair not car repair.

[@OliverPickard]

Hugely complicated and great fun but definitely not a tractor as far as the driving experience goes on different tyres it would be far more car like

[@pwatom22]

By the way.. loved your video on this old mog.

[@OliverPickard]

Thank you very much

[@mb280sl7]

Great video, I want one Santa please!

[@mgtfbluestreak3956]

Amazing..I first saw a unimog spreading lime on fields in the 1980s and being a landrover lover I naturally wanted a unimog as well ..great didn't know that about the unimogs axles...would of like a look at the engine has I'm a commercial engine builder...oliver you should have had your ear defenders on...😂

[@OliverPickard]

The noise wasn't that bad but at the time my microphone setup wasn't great and was pointing at the engine and not me haha

[@Daytona2]

Wonderful! Such a shame about the maintenance costs.

[@OliverPickard]

That's classic Mercedes for you

[@ChristophS1979]

You don't know anything about unimogs. The begin story is incorrect. And you are standing in front of a 411 and not a 404. It was indeed the petrol 404 who was build for army.

[@Mark1405Leeds]

Once again something the same age of me! The only Mercedes I would own - modern ones are over engineered plastic crap! Anything 2 stroke does it for me!

[@Moppemannen_mattias]

It's not a two-stroke.

[@cerealkillergmailcom]

That is not a 404.

[@OliverPickard]

It's 411 🤦🏼‍♂️ my bad

[@cerealkillergmailcom]

I couldn’t remember what that model is but I knew it wasn’t a 404. That one is special in that it has a Westfalia cab. Excellent video! Thanks for posting.

[@OliverPickard]

The cab is what cought me out too
