I love the old and oddball go anywhere vehicles. My all time fave is a 1956 Dodge Power wagon but on the smaller side and just for fun I like to dream about old standards like willy's jeeps but then you can explore more exotic toys. Volkswagon Things hold a place dear in my heart but the original Mercedes Unimog is the ultimate in utilitarian lol.

U have great taste in old simple and likely very functional vehicles. My son in law has an old Mitsubishi pint size truck form a dealer in such items in Van. It has 4 wheel drive and a hydraulic dumping feature. Hw uses it when his Big Ford diesel in not practical.

Ronni the UniMog was and still is a fantastic machine!
I had a Willy's 1953 ex military jeep from the Wack Chilliwack. I did some research and it was in Egypt for the Suez crisis.
I bought two and restored one and sold the pats of the other to pay for the restoration... more of a preservation.
I sold it but the fun for me was doing the work and taking older vets for rides at the football games!
Looking back it was a deathtrap LOL

I know someone that bought a Suzuki pint sized pick up truck from an importer in Van. It is left hand steering, 4x4, small engine, great shape and the box tilts for dumping - bought it used straight from Asia. Really pint sized but looks great and works great

For any kind of work a small truck can do - Toyota even makes them

I have looked at one up close. Very simple and basic. Probably very easy to maintain.
And cheaper to maintain than the Bently too.
