Description

Highlights: – 3.3-litre four-cylinder engine, petrol, manual transmission – Former East German military police truck with “Militärstreife” lettering – Restored in 2025, according to the seller – Fitted with a canvas tilt, blue beacon lights and a roof-mounted searchlight The private seller offers for sale this 1970 Robur LO 1801 A, powered by a 3.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. Painted in military olive green with a broad white stripe and “Militärstreife” lettering on the cab, this Robur is presented as a military police vehicle of the former German Democratic Republic. The Robur LO was the workhorse of East German transport. Built in Zittau from 1961 as the successor to the Phänomen Granit, the rugged forward-control truck was produced in many variants, from flatbed and box-body trucks to fire engines, ambulances and military versions. The LO 1801 A was the military version with a canvas-covered load bed and a cab designed to be practical rather than comfortable. With its sturdy frame and simple mechanicals, the Robur earned a reputation for reliability under harsh conditions. The seller reports that this example was restored in 2025. It has a green two-seat cab with a bench-style seat for the passenger and a simple dashboard with a speedometer, warning lights and switches. A tilt covers the cargo bed, and the cab roof carries a blue beacon and a searchlight. The truck stands on chunky off-road tyres, and its authentic details make it a distinctive and eye-catching piece of Cold War history for military vehicle enthusiasts or for anyone looking for a robust, unusual classic.
