In Brief:

• W460 300 GD G-Wagen project
• Finished in Green over a patterned cloth interior complemented by Tan trim
• Owned by The Vendor for the last 32 years
• 4 former keepers
• Vehicle has spent the last 14 years in undercover storage

On the Surface:

This 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300 GD W460 project is finished in Green with a patterned cloth interior complemented by Tan trim. The bodywork has already benefitted from renovation during its time in storage, leaving a solid visual foundation for the next owner to build upon.

Maintenance & History:

Owned by The Vendor for the last 32 years, this G-Wagen shows 97,781 miles, which is believed correct based on the MOT history, though it cannot be fully warranted due to a few gaps. It has had four former keepers and is accompanied by a small history file including MOT certificates dating back to 1987, an old V5 document and several invoices. The Vendor has now decided to part with the car due to increasing age, prompting this reluctant sale. The vehicle has been in undercover storage for the past 14 years and, while it does run, drive, and stop (as demonstrated in the video), the interior and mechanical elements will require further attention to bring the car up to top-level condition.

The Model:

The Mercedes-Benz W460 G-Class was launched in 1979 at the off-road proving ground in Toulon, France, with multiple body styles and engine choices. Over the following decade, the range grew with updated drivetrains and optional extras. This example is powered by the robust 3.0-litre OM617 five-cylinder diesel, the largest engine offered in the W460 line-up, known for its durability and long service life.

Sale Insight:

This long-term ownership 300 GD represents an appealing project for an enthusiast or restorer. With its desirable OM617 engine and provenance spanning nearly four decades, it provides an excellent opportunity to return a classic G-Wagen to its former glory. Offered here at no reserve, it is a genuine chance to acquire a characterful early G-Wagen project direct from over three decades of ownership.
