Rick W Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Can anyone point me to the direction of any info on a DKW Munga. I may have the oppurtunity of another purchase, (Im sure my other half will be very impressed...on the other hand she may just give me "that" look and roll her eyes.). I dont know anything about these, looks like a fun little thing that you could use everyday, but whats the availability on parts, prices etc. What would a sorted Munga fetch? What would be a bargain price for one of these? Are they rotboxes that need constant welding? Any info gratefully received. 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewroberts.1953 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hi. MUNGA,s are good fun, and are practical. Expect about 40 MPG, top speed of 60 MPH. Most in this country are ex-Dutch, so have oil tank so no pre-mix required. Most parts are easy, shocks are the same as type 2 VW £8 each! The spark plugs (3 off) are about £1.50 each from Germany. The chassis is normally rust free, bodies are good think steel and tend to last. body panels are available from the club in Germany. See http://www.munga-ig.de the site is in English. Handbooks from the club in English, data search for built date etc. I think it's about £12 per year, which includes megazines and cd's. the cd's have things like handbook, spares list, hints and tips etc. MUNGA has a full time four wheel drive system, full military lights, and can ford up to the top of the bonnet without you getting out to do anything! A heater is fitted, which works! The screen has integeral demisting, and two single wipers. A good one goes for £1k to £1.5k, but prices are going up are these are all zero tax and cheap to run etc. In Germany good one's go from about £3k plus, and some have taken the trip back to Germany from UK as the Germans can't get enough! Send me a PM if you want more info. Andy, owner of two MUNGA 4's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewroberts.1953 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hi and good luck with the MUNGA's. My German Munga club mag arrived this morning, with a re-printed copy of the German Army user handbook. This is free for club members! If I can help get in touch.
