Overland Classifieds :: Mercedes Sprinter T1N 4×4

The Mercedes Sprinter is one of the most popular vans on the market, and for good reason. The Sprinter is reliable, relatively economical, comfortable to drive, offers excellent interior living space, and both OEM and aftermarket parts and accessories are readily available. Furthermore, the 4WD variant is impressive off-road, with the original T1N Sprinter (with the Iglhaut Allrad 4WD conversion) being considered by many overlanders as the best of the bunch. I’ve always been a fan of the T1N Sprinter 4WD and envisaged the best overland setup to be the chassis-cab matched with a lightweight habitation box or camper. I was, therefore, excited to see this exact configuration listed on our forum. With just 122,000 kilometers (76,000 miles) on the clock, this Sprinter features a tasteful camper interior, Iglhaut Allrad 4WD conversion, premium modifications and accessories, and “no rust at all.”

From the Seller:

Been working and building this van for the last year. It had a full restoration, which included both bodywork and mechanicals. This van gets attention everywhere you drive it.”
