1993 Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen 300GE AMG

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or 'G-Wagon', as it is more commonly known, is a uniquely styled cross-country vehicle famed for its boxy style. Developed initially as a military vehicle, it has gone on to become one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz in Daimler's history, with a production span of 32 years. It wasn't until a suggestion by Shah of Iran, that the car was offered as a civilian vehicle in 1979, with refinements coming 2 years later by way of air-conditioning, automatic transmission, a cable winch and protective headlamp grilles. Further improvements were offered in later years including more comfortable front seats, wider tyres & arches, central locking and differential locks.

The G-Wagon offered here is a 4-door 300GE 'Long' model supplied new by Mercedes-Benz Bremen, Germany, in right-hand drive. The car is finished in Obsidian black with a grey cloth interior and features dual rear seat benches, all of which present beautifully. The car subsequently went to Japan where it was upgraded by AMG Japan, including a modified exterior, different wheels, increased wheel track and an AMG plaque for effect. A two-owner car from new, this purposeful big Mercedes has, incredibly, space for nine passengers!

Showing 78,411km on the odometer, this very presentable car is now registered and has a UK V5c and MoT until August '16. It is supplied with its original document wallet. Offered at a sensible and attractive estimate, this is surely the vehicle for delivering half a dozen little 'tweenies' to school or bringing a number of pals back from the pub!
