The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon, short for Geländewagen (cross-country vehicle), is characterised by its boxy styling and body-on-frame construction. It uses three fully locking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. The G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz vehicles in their history with a span of 40 years+. It was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979. The first major refinements were introduced in 1981, including an automatic transmission, air conditioning, an auxiliary fuel tank, protective headlamp grilles and a cable winch. Fuel injection became available in 1982 when the 230GE was introduced in Turin, along with more comfortable and supportive front seats, auxiliary heating, wider tyres and wheel arches. For 1985, differential locks, central door locking and a tachometer became standard. Originally registered on 30th September 1993, this long wheelbase, petrol engine, G-Wagon defies the mileage as it presents exceedingly well. Clearly a very well looked after example, the black coachwork is virtually unmarked and the grey leather interior shows no significant signs of wear and is unblemished. We are advised she drives as good as she looks and the engine certainly sounds great. This highly desirable Mercedes-Benz is fitted with the additional seats to the rear and benefits from having had a recent full service, including a gearbox service, new front discs and pads and a new exhaust system. Supplied with the original owner’s manual and maintenance booklet, together with two sets of keys, previous service receipts, a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until June 2026, this 33 year old utility vehicle is fitted with automatic transmission and offers versatility, reliability and prestige all in one. My 300GEL is a great driver and a capable cruiser. Have maintained since I have owned her, updated the front shocks, brakes, exhaust and general maintenance. Owned since 2021, but needs to be driven more than it is. Part of a private collection of older Mercedes.
As an avid private collector of older Mercedes, I have to now part from the collection, all are available:
1 x 1993 300GEL (5 door), owned since Nov 2021
1 x 1993 500 SEC, owned since Dec 2012
1 x 1991 300GE (3 door), owned since May 2002
1 x 1989 560 SEC, owned since Dec 2020
They have all been looked after a driven in rotation for a great deal of satisfaction and fun.
