The Appeal
Much like the Range Rover, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a common sight in urban settings, despite its utilitarian origins. This 2012 G55 AMG was originally supplied to Abu Dhabi and is very highly specced with numerous luxurious optional extras.
Now residing in the Netherlands with a German registration and current TUV, this Mercedes-Benz is a great example of this coveted SUV. With a supercharged AMG V8 under the bonnet, it’s fabulous fun to drive and would make for an entertaining family wagon or weekend toy.
