Mercedes Sprinter 412d Custom Body
Mercedes ml602, 2.8ltr turbo 5 cylinder engine. Do some research and you will find this is widely regarded as one of the best engines in existence. Designed to last a lifetime these engines are renowned for clocking a million miles with ease.
Vehicle was first registered in 1998.
5 speed, 120bhp. Very low genuine mileage.
Initially commissioned by West Midlands fire service as a specialist one off custom build it was stored indoors, regularly serviced and rarely used. Purchased by the current owner with 34k miles and subsequently lovingly converted into a live in vehicle it is now time for a new owner to enjoy this cosy, unique home.
Phenomenal engine, starts first crank every time and always has. You’ll never need another van.
Injectors newly reconditioned.
Due to its initial life indoors and subsequent years in drier climates the bodywork is very tidy for its age. The main box is a very sturdy construction of marine ply sandwiched between fibreglass panels.
MOT valid until November 2025. Gaps in MOT history are due to its status as an MOT exempt vehicle and time spent outside the UK, however regular servicing and maintenance has always been performed to keep the vehicle in first class nick. Viewers will not be disappointed.
More videos readily available, just ask!
A class C1 heavy goods licence or above is required to drive this vehicle. As such the owner politely requests that anyone interested in purchasing the vehicle who does not hold a C1 license does their research on this before making an enquiry, thanks.
The vehicle can legally be MOT’d at any garage and does not require a specific HGV class MOT.
Questions and inquiries are encouraged, please call Mat on 00447828848059.
