'Transporter' is renovating this Ex-German Post Office vehicle, for recreational use.

It is powered by a 5.5 litre Deutz F6L912 110hp engine and is a good runner.

It is all in German, but by using the Google translate (Site option) we can all read about it !

What Goes Up..... Must Come Down...... Not bad for a 4x2 Unladen Road vehicle. Looks Fun !!

Get the badges back on and it will go even better .

Yes it is. Your eyes are not deceiving you. A 4 axle Hauber ! Christian tells me there were 3 of these built. 2 off 256, and 1 off 310. 1 of the 256's is in Cologne, but this was the only 310 built. Its a real Special with basically a 6x4 layout with an additional fourth axle which steers. Even the bodywork is unusual. It looks like a steel 15cu.m. scow end body, but if you look carefully you will see the upturned exhaust outlet which connects to the tipping body. This directs the gases through the double walled body to heat the contents such as tarmac and then the gases exit at the rear of the body. It obviously needs the twin ram underfloor tipping gear to lift this large body. Apparently the vehicle is still running well but just needs a bit of a tidy up. Well done Christian for preserving this unique Maggie

Ron is in NSW downunder in Australia. He has managed to find 3 Old Maggies and is on the way to getting a Rundhauber Jupiter on the road again. He has taken on quite a task but one day NSW will hear the sound of another carefully restored Magirus. G'day and Good luck Ron, keep us up to date.

The unit on the right has been working in Kent UK for the last 15 years. Michael has recently bought it and it has returned to its homeland. HELP REQUIRED Parts are required to convert the steering back to LHD to match its brother stood in the next space. ZF-Nr: 8038955132 -Iveco-Nr.: 42018816. If anyone can help please contact me roland@magirusdeutz.co.uk .

Jason spotted this truck looking a bit sad, stood in a field near his home.

He found the owner and asked if he wished to sell it and negotiated, that as long as Jason was going to restore it, He could take it FREE!!.

Jason could not believe his luck and went away for a battery, returned , started it and drove it home to his yard. He is now the owner of a 1981 170D15AK, V6 powered, All wheel Drive tipper, complete with a serviceable HIAB and a Rockinger tow jaw.

He has plans to tidy up this Ex-Swiss border patrol vehicle later this year, and it will probably find a part time job helping Jason in his logging business.

Original Condition, Very Smart.

This is one of seven KW16 built for use by the Western Allied forces in Berlin. This particular one was assigned to '52nd XG Alexander Barracks - REME Berlin'. It has been fully restored to the highest level and stands representative of all that is Magirus Deutz, in that it is built from the ground up, to carry out a particular job in the best way possible, with no compromise in specification or quality, using the best of materials and expertise available. ( long Sentence ?) It is a truly stunning machine . See below for another Thomas Knauf project.

Whats that in the undergrowth ? Lets drag it out and have a look ....

Its a1957 A12000 Uranus

Who could abandon this beauty ? A Uranus V12 Kran truck in Ex-Mainz Feuerwehr colours.

Quite a lot of work to be done, but the bell on the front wing looks new !

It will be well worth the effort to restore this fabulous piece of Magirus engineering.

Holger, his family and a friend have completed this wonderful project. The starting point was a vehicle manufacured in 1960, and supplied to the Belgian Army. After many years service at its base in Aachen and four years hard work, it now looks as good as the day it left the factory. This 19Litre V12 powered beauty is just one of several military maggies in their collection. Click on pics below for more !!!

Another Uranus at starting point.

Cliff is in  NSW Australia. He remembers when he used to accompany his Dad in His Maggie back in 1972. He has spent the last 4 years accumulating the above selection and intends to produce one show vehicle. Currently he is trying to locate a pair of genuine headlights.  Can anyone help please ?

Matthias completed this project some time ago. It was a very comprehensive time consuming job but the result is a truck that could have just been driven off the Ulm production line.                                    

Christian Toumpsin is involved in documenting a project to restore a Water Cannon Truck. Christian's pictures show the 1957 LWB truck on the left which will be brought up to match the standard of the SWB similar model on the right. The smaller model is owned by an ex-Police Officer. These purpose built vehicles are both driven by the same model F8L614 engine which powered other models including the popular S6500 of the same era. The finished truck is due to be displayed in an exhibition.

There is now a film of one of these great machines on you tube . Click HERE

Günther is part owner of this well preserved powerful tipper. This V10 engined, 4-wheel drive, three sided tipper has bodywork by Bertsch. It looks really good for a 33 year old tipper but there are plans to restore and repaint the cab, and the complete chassis. Why did this model never come to the UK?!

Notes : This is a real challenge !! Ashley's recipe, buy 'one and a half Magirus Deutz' from Ireland, a 'Dustcart from Germany', fit the German LHD Cab to the Irish RHD chassis, totally refurbish to his very exacting standards. Another 310D19FFS V10 Tractor Unit will be returning to the UK roads.

The project is now under way and Ashley has an interesting answer to a LHD to RHD problem.

The 'secret part' above has been cut from the old cab and is a piece of floor section which includes the gearstick mount. When this has been grafted into the new cab, and other RHD mods made, the whole cab will be receiving what promises to be a spectacular paint job.

Go for it Ashley ! You can do it.
