The Attractions
Having earned a solid reputation as one of the best off-road vehicles of all time, the Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen or 'G Wagon' is a cult vehicle. Here we have an excellent example from 1987 that has been carefully updated to enhance its already impressive capabilities.
It has proved its capabilities by participating in off-road races and excursions in the Sahara desert. The bodywork is in good condition and shows only minor scratches from its off-road adventures. The interior, while showing signs of use, is original and basically solid. Under the bonnet is a completely overhauled 2.8-litre straight-six engine that reportedly runs well on LPG.
This is an excellent opportunity to own a classic Mercedes-Benz G 280, modified for off-road use and ready for your next adventures.
