Very nice!
For the longest time I had my heart set on the Oberaigner Sprinter 6x6 chassis cab as a base for an overlander vehicle.
With the help of Oberaigner I worked my way around several obsticles which included brake test homoligation and import into South Africa despite Mercedes Benz SA wanting nothing to do with it and making it clear that they will not honor the warranty on a 6x6 self-import, etc!
Oberaigner even had a demo unit lined up for me at a bit of a discount. At the time I was told that the unit had also used been in Saudi for testing! But I am sure it cannot be the same one as your unit?? I have some photos of it that Oberaigner sent me at the time (approx 18 months ago). It was white back then and had a box body on it which we were going to remove.
But ultimately it was the total cost of the whole excersize involved that I was staring at that killed it for me. It just would have cost too much to get it into South Africa and too big a risk with no warranty backing from MBSA.
Today I am happy with the alternative path I took but I will always look at the Oberaigner Sprinter 6x6 with fond affection.
Well done on your awesome rig!
