2008 Mercedes-Benz G280cdi Gelandewagen
Regretfully, the time has come to part with my Uber rare and highly coveted 1 of 7 Entdecker.
If you are familiar with these Gelandewagen, then no description is necessary. However if you are not, please read on.
In 2008, two great minds came together to create the best off-road vehicle ever. The brief included size, power, strength, reliability and range. To be used for navigating the African and Asian continents.
Between FRONTRUNNER & UNICAT, this was achieved.
Using the most heavy duty G Wagon platform available, 7 of these Swiss Military specification vehicles were put on special order from MB. Not available for private purchase as individual units.
HD chassis, HD axles, ROW-spec OM642 engine and transmission… 4t HD braking system etc…
The vehicles were sent to UNICAT in Germany for their next stage of modifications and outfitting.
To include some of the additions:
2 x Auxiliary fuel cells, max capacity 233ltrs
1 x 80ltr fresh water tank, pump & outlet inc ambient shower.
2 x Viair compressors
Koni suspension
Storage applications
2 x spare wheels
Koni suspension
Warn winch
Secondary fuel filtration
2 x National Luna fridges
The OM642 3. 0 TD engine, was factory fitted without the DPF and crap from the civilian counterparts.
Resulting in a fool proof power plant that can run on low grade fuel.
24v & 12v electrical systems
Onboard inverter
24v kettle…
Currently at 98k kms on the clock, serviced every 5k kms, it’s a fantastic, smooth and powerful unit. The 5spd auto box is beautifully refined.
Front, centre & rear difflocks give the vehicle unstoppable traction.
Any questions, please message me.

This particular vehicle was used by Scott Brady on 2 separate expeditions in Africa and subsequently he used it for two YouTube videos.
