Apparently cost $6 million to make... at a recent auction no one made the minimum $50 000 bid. Ouch.

Not targeted to windsurfing. But all these ski vehicles would be good windsurf rides.

20 yr old overpriced vehicles, you can import one of these after flying to Germany AND have a holiday for peanuts, diesel and standard transmissions and syncros available... :idea: I'm awaiting the availability of the Sprinter 4x4 :arrow: with a standard tranny

Yeah saw that JL but it's a step....and I bet they now have 5 or 6 speed manual in the motherland where mine will come from anyway if I go that route :wink:

EDIT: BINGO!! 6 Speed! AND two 4 cylinder versions instead of the V6 for even better fuel economy,

•Sprinter 313/513 CDI 4x4
4 Zylinder, 2.143 l Hubraum
Leistung 95 kW (129 PS) bei 3800/min
max. Drehmoment 305 Nm bei 1200-2400/min

•Sprinter 316/516 CDI 4x4
4 Zylinder, 2.143 l Hubraum
Leistung 120 kW (163 PS) bei 3800/min
max. Drehmoment 360 Nm bei 1400-2400/min

•Sprinter 319/519 CDI 4x4
V6 Zylinder, 3,0 l Hubraum
Leistung 140 kW (190 PS) bei 3800/min
max. Drehmoment 440 Nm bei 1400-2400/min

"Für die Kraftübertragung des Sprinter 4x4 stehen zwei Varianten zur Wahl: das wirtschaftliche Sechsgang-Schaltgetriebe ECO Gear oder auf Wunsch die besonders komfortable und millionenfach bewährte Fünfgang-Automatikgetriebe von Mercedes-Benz."
