Description The Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagen, 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. It was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by the Shah of Iran and offered as a civilian version in 1979. A new version was expected for 2007, but ultimately whilst the new GL-Class is a fine performing product in the Mercedes tradition, it was not sufficient to steal the affection for the classic Geländewagen. And so the G-Wagon is still in production and selling well to the current day. This very well specified Japanese G500 model is presented well with just over 80,000 miles shown on the odometer, imported into the UK in 2016 by the previous owner. The car comes with V5, 2 key fobs, service book and EU Certificate of Conformity. this is a highly capable classic which can be used and enjoyed in all weather conditions. This model has been facelifted to the desirable 2012-2018 variant, and comes with the original full spare wheel. This high specification model includes air conditioning, automatic lights and windscreen wipers, heated seats all round, and a sunroof to name a few. Over £5000 has been spent under the current owner including a change of transmission oil in the last 5,000 miles. G-Wagens are rare on UK roads and this example is one of the best kept that we have seen in recent years.
