1989 Mercedes Benz 300D G Wagen, 2998cc. registration number G741 URO. Chassis number WDB46033227065190. Engine number 61793122002157.
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. 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.
This Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon was first registered on 30th September 1989 to Mr Simper of Suffolk. It has extensive dealer stamped service history, from 1,384 miles in 1989 (29 times!) right up to the most recent in 2020 at 156,112 miles. The MOT history backs up the mileage as well and is current until September 2022. It is offered in a desirable colour combination, the Astral Silver coachwork is in good order and the replacement grey checked interior is virtually unmarked. It has undergone recent 3M cavity wax treatment.
Offered with a V5C registration document and an MOT test certificate valid until September 2022, this G-Wagen can be highly recommended and it is well worth checking the underside of the vehicle.
