Cool build on the outside.

But that interior...

What's the German word for vomit?

Someone's taste is in their arse.

.
Interior looks like 1960's decor to me. Maybe not, but it definitely doesn't look like what I would have expected. AND at just $1.75 million, that simple life could be yours. Seems a bit high, but then again too - it is all what people will pay I guess.

Just in case anybody else wants to see what $1,075,000 looks like, here is a picture - and remember she is an 8x8:

Way back when, in a different life, I drove the MAN 8x8 in an older variant, V8 diesel with a ZF semi-automatic transmission. Man, that thing was an offroad beast. So easy to drive, full air lockers and power divider locks on all axles. Unstoppable. Palfinger knuckleboom behind the cab.
Mind you, that was a late 1979 truck. No a/c but air ride seat. Optimized for offroad but could be whipped to 110km/h on the highway.
I can only imagine what the later KAT trucks from the German Bundeswehr are like.
Would I want one? Yes, please!
