Looks like it's sitting on a MB UniMog chassis. These are plentiful in Switzerland and makes a Jeep look sick off-road.

My guess is the C-2 was probably rusted out (problem is MUCH worse in Europe) and would not pass inspection. I'd say it would be just a matter of a large cash infusion (well worth it, IMHO) to restore this one. Body looks unmolested compared to some of the disasters I've seen here.

Looks like a waste of time and money to me. I am sure it was total devaluated but I guess it depends on what exactly he started with.
