The seller offers for sale this 1974 Hanomag F20, a distinctive diesel hauler presented as an imported ramp truck that was brought back to life in 2025. Power comes from a Mercedes-Benz OM615 diesel engine sourced from a Mercedes 407, paired with a manual transmission. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly. A substantial amount of work has been carried out, including replacement of brake components such as the master cylinder and clutch cylinders, plus new brake hoses and new copper brake lines. The fuel system has also been updated with a plastic tank and new 8 mm copper feed and return lines. The exterior was hand-painted in various shades of grey after restoration work, and the cabin offers two seats with cloth upholstery, while the heater blower is not working. The seller notes previous damage/repairs, including extensive welding and replacement of body panels on the cab floor. A nice detail is that the exhaust is custom made and consists of 2 upright truck pipes with valves along the cab. The current documented mileage is 150.000 km.
Hanomag commercial vehicles have a loyal following thanks to their robust, utilitarian engineering and unmistakable classic working-truck character. Models like the F20 were built for practical duties and durability, and today they are appreciated as eye-catching classics for events, collections and niche transport use.
