a chance to buy a 1957 Unimog. It is a working vehicle (not prettified).

Apparently Unimogs handle REALLY badly, and the independently-suspended cab
leans severely in corners, in addition to the chassis' lean! I have read
that their 4WD abilities are not good either.

The NZ "army" (toy soldiers) have them, and I imagine they sell off the
older ones. No way would I look at one.

Stick with Vanagons.
