MB Trac Range Years
#5

Hi Wolfgang

Thank you for the detail on the age. The last digit could be related to an export / import issue. Mercedes have been involved in South Africa for a very long time and did not seem too phased about the sanctions emposed by the rest of the world. They had manufacturing plants for trucks and cars here for some models.

However, I believe that due to their strong ties in SA, there had to be a certain amount of local content added to vehicles that were fully imported at the time, to comply with the regulations at the time. This might have meant that the engines were probably added in SA as there was a very large engine manufacturing company here building ADE engines which are the same as the OM engines. My MB Trac 1000 has what appears to be an ADE 352 motor in it. It could however have been changed at some point. I bought the MB Trac 800 without a motor so I cannot comment on that.

On the matter of my 800, I would like to chat to you regarding an engine for that if you could spare me the time.

Regards,
Peter
