even models that aren&#8217;t officially imported to the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The Surrey and Sussex-based dealer now has a hat-trick\u00a0of all-wheel drive Mercedes vans on its demonstrator fleet:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mercedes-Benz Vito 4&#215;4 (German import, left-hand drive only, modified by German specialists Oberaigner)<\/li>\n<li>Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4&#215;4 (available as right-hand drive official UK model)<\/li>\n<li>Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 6&#215;6 (converted by German specialist Oberaigner, Rossett is the sole UK agent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see from the pictures below, these vans are the real deal, with raised suspension and genuine go-anywhere ability.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Mercedes-Benz Vito 4&#215;4 is available\u00a0as\u00a0an official Mercedes model, Rossetts isn&#8217;t importing this version &#8212; instead, the Vito 4&#215;4\u00a0offered by the UK dealer is a Vito 4&#215;4 with additional modifications by\u00a0German all-wheel drive specialist Oberaigner.\u00a0The main difference\u00a0is that Oberaigner has added mechanical diff-locks for improved off-road performance.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7265\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7265\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7265\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/rossetts-mb-vito-sprinter-4x4-sm.jpg\" alt=\"Rossetts' Vito 4x4 and Sprinter 4x4\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/rossetts-mb-vito-sprinter-4x4-sm.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/rossetts-mb-vito-sprinter-4x4-sm-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vanrental.co.uk\/vanblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/rossetts-mb-vito-sprinter-4x4-sm-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7265\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rossetts&#8217;
