Mercedes-Benz 508d 1976 (APK and Taxes Free)

Beautiful, classic, and nearly indestructible Mercedes 508D — a true old-timer with a strong reputation. I've traveled safely to Senegal and back with it, as well as across half of Europe. It has the solid OM314 engine — a reliable workhorse — with 450,000 km on the clock.

🔧 Recent Renovation & Mechanical Work:

The van recently carried out major renovations to address rust around the window frame and other areas of the body.
-* Fresh paint
-New rubbers in the front windows
-Fully renewed braking system
-Oil change, diesel filter replaced
-New coolant and new batteries installed

🔨 Interior: The van is completely empty, making it a perfect blank canvas for your own camper conversion. The only thing I'm leaving is a custom-built wood stove. This van has passed through many loving, creative DIY hands over the years. As a result, it doesn't have a flawless, showroom-style aesthetic — instead, it shows a unique patchwork of repairs and personal touches that give it character and charm.

⚠️ Things to be aware of:

-The roof has a few leaks
-The speedometer and diesel gauge are not working
-The top pipe of the stove needs replacement
-The roof window would benefit from being changed
