Perhaps Unimogs are not so common in the UK? I remember recognizing
it at once as a child. I didn't know that it was called "Unimog", but
I did know that it looked like "those large lorries used by the road

I've always thought that the 8846 tow truck looks like a Land Rover.
I dunno if it is actually made to look like one, though. Do anybody
else think it looks like the Land Rover?
