This is a classic Mercedes truck, with almost 900 thousand km on board, created for transporting classic cars

Classic, collectible trucks are fewer and rarer because the people who prefer to collect trucks are much less in number than those who buy classic cars. But this Mercedes truck is a kind of classic truck specially tailored for the transport of classic cars, it even has all the facilities for a possible motorsport team with vintage cars or simply for a collector who wants to take his jewels to their destination in style, and only there to drive their cars, getting out of the truck.

It's a Mercedes from the NG80 series, manufactured in 1980, so 42 years ago. And it has almost 900 thousand km on the odometer. For these trucks, however, the journey is not very long, because they could withstand 2-3 million.

The engine is one with 6 cylinders, diesel, 5.7 liters and 168 HP, so it is also relatively efficient in consumption. Both the tractor head and the trailer are painted in the same color, and the latter has space for transporting two collector cars. It mainly transported Porsche 911s, but other cars can also fit.

The trailer also has a lounge area and sleeping beds, which seem very basic by modern standards, but which are well preserved and may still be functional.

Most likely, a potential buyer might want a repaint of the truck and trailer in a different retro color palette, more suited to their style. And just with different colors, this truck could be given an even more beautiful appearance. And the model is appreciated even by truck collectors, being considered one of the very successful Mercedes models.

It doesn't cost very little. The truck is sold in Belgium, but it is registered in the Netherlands, and 35,000 euros are being asked for it.

But compared to the price of the jewels it's designed to carry, it's a relatively unnoticeable price paid to make a stylish appearance at classic car enthusiast events!
