Model : Uranus KW16 6x6      Build Year : 1964     Owner : Thomas Knauf     Location : Germany  de    Status:  Complete                 
Thomas Knauf Uranus REME V12 Kran

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.

 

Model : A12000 Uranus & A6500 Jupiter      Build Year : Various     Owner : Holger family     Location : Germany  de    Status:  Some complete, some in progress.                   

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 !!!

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 ?

 

Model : 310D26AK      Build Year : 1980 approx     Owner : Matthias     Location : Germany  de     Status:  Project completed.                  

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.                                    

 

Model : JUPITER A6500      Build Year : 1957    Owner : Belgian Police Historical Service     Location : Brussels, Belgium be     Status:  Project  is Work In Progress                   

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

 

Model : 310D19FAK      Build Year : 1976    Owner : Günther     Location :  Austria  at      Status:  Project  is Work In Progress                   

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?!

 

Model : 310D19FFS     Build Year : 1980?     Owner : Ashley     Location : Cambridge UK gb      Status:  Project in Progress                   
Pre - Restoration

Cab Off..
Replacement Cab from Hamburg ..
Bin Body removed and binned.
Cab stripped for action..
Some holes to fill....
The secret part , see below..

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.

 

Model : 110D7FL    Build Year : 1976    Owner : 'Transporter'    Location : Berlin- Germany de      Status:  Project In Progress

Models : 2 x 256D26AK 'dreiseiten kippers'     Build Year : 1979    Owner :  Hans Diederich     Location :  Germany de      Status:  Project In Progress                   
Hans Diederich has taken on the job of a twin restoration. He is keeping one for himself, but the other is for a lucky client. If his past projects are anything to go by, they should look like new.

In transit

Work In Progress
As I said... It does look like new. The tipper body is now going to get the same treatment, and the second truck is about to start the same procedure.
