SUMMARY
An Ex-Military vehicle that has been professionally converted for leisure use and expertly modified to meet UK MOT regulations.
DESCRIPTION
- 1987 example of the legendary G240 ‘Wolf’, the military variant of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, engineered for durability, simplicity and extreme terrain capability
- Originally supplied for military service and subsequently professionally converted for leisure use, sympathetically adapted to meet UK MOT requirements
- Powered by the robust 2.4-litre diesel engine (OM616 series), renowned for longevity and torque delivery rather than outright speed, ideally suited to expedition or utility use
- Believed (though impossible to warrant) to have covered fewer than 23,000 kilometres from new, a remarkably low figure for a vehicle of this type
- Professionally refinished in distinctive Gulf Blue with black interior, giving a striking and contemporary aesthetic while retaining its purposeful character
- Fitted with a bespoke canvas hood, matching doors and awning, together with practical storage solutions including integrated cool boxes — thoughtfully configured for leisure and overland use
- Equipped with rugged off-road alloy wheels and tyres, complementing the G-Wagen’s permanent four-wheel-drive system, high ground clearance and locking differentials
- Previously MOT tested and used sparingly before being placed into professional storage following expiry in February 2024, with minimal mileage covered since. An excellent beach buggy, promotional vehicle, utility vehicle or versatile leisure Jeep
