Highlights
- In current ownership for approximately 24 years
- Running and driving with both high and low range operational, we are told
- Seller reports significant recent investment in suspension and chassis work
- The vendor considers this a very solid base for restoration with straight bodywork and a sound chassis
The Appeal
The short-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz 300GD is among the most sought-after variants of the W463 G-Wagen. Its combination of a 3.0-litre straight-six diesel engine, five-speed manual gearbox, and compact proportions makes it a purposeful and highly capable machine with an ever-growing following among enthusiasts and collectors.
This 1992 Lime Green example benefits from long-term ownership and recent mechanical investment, presenting a solid foundation for those looking to restore a desirable SWB G-Wagen. The bodywork is described as straight, the chassis is reported to be in good order, and the vehicle reportedly remains operational, making it a practical starting point rather than a dormant project.
