The Appeal

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class needs little introduction, particularly in G500 form. Known for its blend of luxury, off-road capability and road presence, this 2005 example adds another layer of distinction with an armoured specification and AMG cosmetic detailing.

Presented in left-hand drive and finished in black with red leather, it makes a bold impression. With low indicated mileage and unique features such as the Affalterbach-signed AMG plaque, this example has standout appeal for collectors, specialists, or those seeking a more secure and commanding classic SUV.

The vehicle is B6 armoured and was produced as a purpose built G Guard model for the UK Armed Forces who used a fleet of these in Iraq for transporting VIPs and Diplomats.

While the exact specification of the armour is unconfirmed, visual evidence supports reinforced construction, and the overall presentation remains honest and usable, with signs of age and wear consistent with its purpose.
