?️ 2008 Mercedes Vario Chassis Cab – The Ultimate Base for Your Dream Build

If you’re looking to build your dream camper or a bespoke overland vehicle, this is the one to start with. What you’re looking at is possibly the best-value Vario chassis cab on the market today.


? MINT Chassis – A Rare Gem

The condition of this chassis is nothing short of exceptional – especially for a Vario, which are becoming harder and harder to find in this state. It’s rust-free, straight, and solid, recently painted and protected to ensure it lasts for years to come.


? Mechanically Bulletproof

Under the bonnet sits the legendary Mercedes 4.2L diesel engine – a proper old-school, ultra-durable lump known for surviving harsh conditions and high mileage. Paired with the smooth-as-silk Allison automatic torque converter gearbox, this vehicle drives like a dream.

We’ve invested in:

✅ Fully renewed braking system – including all brake pipes
✅ Fresh service on engine and gearbox
✅ Two brand-new batteries
✅ Thorough inspection and maintenance for peace of mind

All of this work would normally set you back around £3,000+ at a specialist garage. It’s already been done, so you don’t have to worry.


?️ Perfect for Your Campervan, Overland or Utility Build

Whether you’re:

  • Mounting a custom motorhome body

  • Creating a rugged off-grid adventure wagon

  • Building a recovery truck or mobile workshop

  • Or simply want a legendary workhorse…

…this chassis is ready to roll. With its massive payload potential, reliability and minimal electronics, it’s one of the best base vehicles in the UK for conversions.


? Incredible Value

? £10,000 + VAT
That’s just £12,000 including VAT — for a future-proofed, heavy-duty platform that’s only going up in value.


? Summary:

  • ✅ 122,000 miles – nothing for this setup

  • ✅ MINT chassis & restored mechanicals

  • ✅ 4.2L diesel engine – one of Merc’s finest

  • ✅ Smooth Allison automatic gearbox

  • ✅ 2x new batteries

  • ✅ MOT-ready

  • ✅ Can be delivered UK-wide
