a bit of a riddle MB Unimog

This restored Unimog apliance is a riddle, the crest is from Hochstatt, Haut-Rhin department, Alsace, France, seen in Hameln today 24/02/2011 with a German No plate, Cologne not Hameln and inside all controls are mark in Duch.

Any one got an idea.

Chris, It could have been a former Dutch Airforce one. But if the controls are in Dutch could also have been a Belgium one. Any idea who build the body?

The bodywork looks like a late 60s Landuyt construction or a Rosenbauer built in the early 1970s

Well this might be a Belgian truck then, as Landuyt was a Belgian constructer.

This engine was acquired in 1992 by Hochstatt Volunteer FD.

Hi Jacques, did they used it as an operational machine or just as an vintage one?

Added by Fire995 on 11 May 2013.
It was used as an operational engine, Hochstatt is a small village with volunteers, called prompt intervention unit, the area is covered by Mulhouse city in case of emergency. Since the Unimog left, they have now 1pumper, 1multi-function van and 1liaison car.
