MOT: None
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 in Daimler's history with a span of 32 years. It was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979.
A rare and desirable UK-supplied example, the G-Wagon on offer was manufactured in 1987 and was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 1st of March that year. Fitted with the 2299cc straight-four M115 petrol engine with the scarce five-speed manual transmission, the Mercedes-Benz is finished in Black with Black interior upholstery, and benefits from the fitment of a genuine AMG body kit and wheels. Entering into the current ownership in 2019, regretfully, shortly after the tale takes a sad turn here as the vendor left the G-Wagon with a restoration company to complete some improvements who came into financial difficulty, and the work was never completed and the Mercedes was not returned to the owner. Located by the police earlier this year and delivered back to the vendor, ‘D218 FBJ’ will likely require some recommissioning, although is running. Accompanied by a V5C document, a set of keys, and a clear HPI report.
