Hello, here you can see the first pictures about an original and in very good conditions Munga from Italy. The owner is my new friend Giovanni from Milano in Italy.
Since yesterday Giovanni is a new member in our forum.
Hello Giovanni, welcome to the forum and in our Munga-circle. The car looks very nice, it seems to be a former "Bundeswehr" army car. The windshield frame is an early epoch, the engine is the 1000 machine.
What year is the car? What is the VIN? You will found the number on the metal plate between the batteries. I think the car is first registered in Italy prior to 1978, because I see no admission permission from "Il Fuoristrada Autofficina Snc"!?
A great connoisseur of Munga is my friend Roberto in Toscana near Firenze.
I think he can help with spare parts in Italy. Have a pleasant journey with the DKW Munga.
Goodmorning Thanks to Peter-Hans for the presentation and thank you for your welcome to the forum.
I confirm that the engine is a 1000. On some parts I found stamped 1964. The number on the metal plate between the battery is: Nato ident Nr. 12-124-8279 There are other numbers engraved on the bodywork at the side of the engine, but are covered by at least three layers of paint: its original RAL 6014, blue and another olive green lighter ral 6014. The first registration in Italy is 1974.
Roberto was the first in which I asked about Munga. In Milan, it seems to me to be the only owner Munga, on the other, self admired by many and photographed by even the Japanese visiting the city.
My dream is to be able to restore such as yours. A little at a time and with your help and experience I am sure we will do it.
The silver plate with the NATO supply number only means that the Munga was built in the NATO version with 24 Volt..etc.... Directly below is the nameplate with the Year of construction, the vehicle manufacturer and the chassis number. This should by 3050 ?? or probably with 3038 0? begin. This number would be interested.

I think on the chassis, bumber cross rear, right side,
Hello Mister Munga, thanks for the information you obtained from your crystal ball. Little by little, I'd like to bring it back as 50 or 60 years ago.
32 years ago I had another Munga, then I got married and when our son was born we needed a car a little more comfortable. It was perfect !!!!
Last year my wife bought me this "new" Munga in memory of the first.
As I mentioned in Hans-Peter the previous owners have cannibalized, some with holes in the body and replacing parts other than genuine.
In Milan, where I live, I have not found it Munga other mechanical workshops / bodywork who know the machine, but only some talkative. Near Brescia's Michael hobby repairs Munga and near Florence's Roberto knows that very well and in Peschiere del Garda is Alberto who has two. With their help and your knowledge will become as beautiful as ever.
Currently, I am seeking a voltmeter panel VDO diameter 52 mm (as the water temperature gauge and fuel gauge idicatore) to close a hole in the dashboard. I have seen this type of installation in some old photographs.
@Hoermen Duplizität der Ereignisse, der 2. Funkwagen, passend zu deinem Neuzugang!
Doch nicht Wirklich das zweite Versuchsmuster ????
Der den sie immer aus dem Flieger geschmissen haben ???

Original was not a voltmeter in the dashboard !!!!
In Italy still drive a few hundred DKW Munga! Here are some places that I know: Bresso, Brescia, Bribnano, Firenze, Sandrio, Trieste, Roma, Zucche di Volvera.....
@hoermen: Ja, offensichtlich die Karosse des 2. Wagens der seinerzeit zur Erprobungsstelle Funk nach Oberpfaffenhofen überführt wurde. Die Munga-Welt ist klein...
Good morning Mister Munga, you're right, but a previous owner has practiced a rectangular hole in the dashboard. I asked a bodybuilder, but I was not convinced. I saw some pictures on the internet where there is a tool in the same position. I contacted the mungaclub through the site, but does not do more activities. However, every year some fans (not many) meet in Tremosine, near Brescia, for a meeting, where fans also come from Germany. For one day, munga they retrace the old mountain paths the last world war. I am currently trying to remedy the troubles of the previous owners, to get to the next mungameeting would not look too much. Of course, it seems that participants from Germany have the perfect veicles. Best regards Giovanni
Hello Mister Munga, I am into contact with Alberto who lives in Peschiera del Garda, one of the organizers of the meeting. As soon as I know something I'll let you know via forum.
Furthermore, as suggested by Fitzel, I reluctantly scratched the paint on the chassis numbers and I found this number: 3038-00-546529-002 31889
Hello Mister Munga thanks for the clarification that I had missed. With Your help, I'd find the correct data and relocate a label with the original machine data.
The four holes that I see when I open the bonnet are an insult to the history of the vehicle..
As I was saying, at the points you have mentioned I have not found engraved numbers or plates or holes removed nameplates.
