SIKU 2702 1:55 Unimog U400 Anniversary Model
Two anniversaries – one model
100 years of Sieper and 75 years of Unimog: two anniversaries – one model. The anniversary model of the current series, limited to an edition of 10,000, is painted in typical forest green. The doors are printed with the logo “75 Jahre Unimog” (75 years of Unimog) and the roof is printed with “100 Jahre Sieper” (100 years of Sieper ). As an anniversary model, the universal mini-truck is of course also fitted with a trailer coupling. The development of the universal mini-truck started in 1946 – at that time conceived as a universal farm tractor. A success story grew out of this. The Unimog is considered to be indestructible and suitable for all terrains, and it is therefore used in forestry and agriculture, by fire brigades, and for the emergency services, military, and by relief organisations. Adventurers have used it to climb to heights of 7,000 metres, to cross deserts, and to overcome floods, ice, and snow. 380,000 Unimogs have been built to date, and many are still in service after several decades.
