Markheliops Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi Kyle I had a Munga 4 and a Munga 8 before I purchased the Ward. I am not about for a week or so but have a think about what you want to know and drop me line. I have loads of Munga contacts and can get spares, etc. Quickly - Mungas are great fun - rare at shows - 3 stroke / 2 cylinder engine so not much to go wrong with them - cost effective roofless toys - spares are cheap and easily obtainable - Costs - Good Munga 4 about 1500 - 2000 Good Munga 8 (rare) 2000 + Try to stay away from non-original engine models - lowers the value. If looking - listen for noisy engine bearings and watch for dodgy electrics. All in all - a great introduction to MV's and quite an interesting vehicle to have. Sorry all Jeep owners - A Munga will beat you off road - no contest. Official!!

andrewroberts.1953 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi I can echo everything Mark says. Keep a look on Ebay, I have seen reasonable MUNGAs go for a couple of hundred quid. I have a contact for main canvas (most are missing or shot) for about £250. Doors are about £100 a set from Germany. A electronic ignition is on the market for about £120. Shocks are the same as a type 2 VW van. Lots of other bits are German military standard, so you can find them on Unimogs etc. Most you will see in this country are ex-Dutch. a block of them were sold into UK some years ago. Make sure the transmission oil is NOT EP90! It must be NON EP, or it will eat the bronze items. The club in Germany http://www.munga-ig.de, has and english section. Vehicle history can be sorted via them, and books etc in english. Andy Owner of two MUNGA 4's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markheliops Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi Andy. Hope you are well. Long time no speak. Didn't realise you were on here as well. It's about time the Munga profile was raised. Are you going to War and Peace? If so, be good to finally meet up with you. If not, will hook up at one on the HMVF runs. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewroberts.1953 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi Mark Sorry I can't make War and Peace, as working in Jockland again at that time! But will have use of a new Wolf again, with any luck :evil:. Yes, it would be good to have more MUNGAs on the scene. I have been emailing everyone who sells one on Ebay in UK to pass details of HMVF etc on. So you never know! Have fun with the Ward, Hope you find the trailer you want.
