1991 MERCEDES 300 GE
Originally sold in France Nice configuration 6-cylinder petrol engine Presumed mileage: about 238,000 km French registration title Chassis n° WDB46322717075980 The Mercedes G-wagen is officially presented in 1979; it is the result of a collaboration with the Austrian SteyrPuch and aims to meet the demand of a military clientele. At the beginning, it was available as a convertible, a short station wagon or a long station wagon, and was a great success in both civilian and military versions. In 1980, Pope John Paul II himself ordered a fully covered in glass model from Mercedes. Three years later, Jacky Ickx and Claude Brasseur won the Paris-Dakar Rally in a 280 GE. Little by little, the G became more sophisticated and was gradually equipped with an automatic transmission, air conditioning and leather interior. Private individuals snatch it up and it invades little by little chic urban districts. For its tenth anniversary, it was given the name G-Class and a more formal front end and interior under the code name W463. For its twentieth anniversary, when AMG was bought by Mercedes, the Affalterbach-based tuner took a look at the G-Class and proposed the G55, a monster equipped with a naturally-aspirated 5.5-liter V8 developing 354 hp. This new version, boosted with steroids, is all the rage and many more exclusive versions will follow. The model we are presenting is a 300 GE put into circulation in France on April 15, 1991. It is equipped with a 6-cylinder in-line petrol engine coupled to an automatic gearbox. It has a beautiful Malachite Green color associated with five-spoke aluminum wheels. Its body is in a good state of preservation, only a few light scratches and traces of corrosion are to be reported. Inside, we find black leather upholstery with black carpets and woodwork on the dashboard and the center column. Very well equipped, it has electric windows, a sunroof and air conditioning. The interior is in very good condition and the leathers have a nice patina. Mechanically, this vehicle runs very well and has benefited from careful maintenance since its purchase in 2014. With its statutory looks and elegant configuration, there is no doubt that it will appeal to fans of the model.
