Category: News Published Date Hits: 72

Fancy gifting yourself a unique 1:12 scale model of a Unimog? And not just any model, but one made by Lego – a giant 2,048 piece fully functioning piece including pneumatic-operated crane with gripper arm. The model measures 38.6cms from bumper to bumper and comes coloured in bright orange with blue bucket seats. Additionally the model features front winch, optional snowplough and includes full suspension, differentials, a four-wheel drive chassis, a gear block for extreme ground clearance, and a detailed reproduction of the engine, accurate right down to the moving pistons.

Unimog – the Universal Motor Gerät – celebrates its 60^th anniversary this year. When it was first launched, the vehicle demonstrated its incredible off-road ability to overcome some of the most challenging conditions and quickly gained an impressive reputation. To date, more than 380,000 Unimogs have been sold around the world, proving its four-wheel drive abilities are still unmatched by any other vehicle and continues to be the vehicle of choice for extreme environments.
