Proudly supplied new by Mertrux Derby to its first owner in Burton on Trent, this 1987 Mercedes G Wagon 300GD LWB has had only three custodians over its lifetime, ensuring a level of care and preservation that is rare for vehicles of its age. With just 57,000 miles on the odometer, it has been sparingly used over the last two decades, benefiting significantly from dry storage between 2010 and 2021, which has contributed to its exceptional condition today.
Throughout the past six years under the current ownership, this G Wagon has received attentive care and numerous upgrades to maintain its iconic status and reliability. From essential brake system overhauls in 2017, including new calipers, brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and pads, to structural integrity reinforcements in 2018 with new inner and outer sills and a reconditioned starter. Further enhancements in 2019 included a new window regulator and battery, ensuring this vehicle's performance and functionality remain at their peak.
From 2020 to the present, the commitment to preserving this G Wagon's heritage and performance has continued unabated. A full service, rust treatment, and wax oiling of the undercarriage, coupled with a full respray, have returned the vehicle to its original splendor. Additional cosmetic and functional updates, such as new headlight surrounds, protective trims, mudguards, and tires, reinforce its readiness for both urban and off-road adventures.
In 2023, the gearbox underwent a thorough inspection by The Gearbox Centre Northampton. Initially intended for a rebuild, the gearbox was found to be in excellent condition, requiring only new gaskets and seals-a testament to the vehicle's robust engineering and the care it has received.
Prospective buyers will be pleased to know that this G Wagon will come with a full service and MOT prior to sale, ensuring it is ready for immediate use. Additionally, new door card screw-in rubber stoppers have been ordered, highlighting the seller's attention to detail and commitment to delivering a vehicle in peak condition.
With its comprehensive history of care and meticulous maintenance, this G Wagon is set to continue its journey with a new owner, promising unmatched versatility and enduring appeal.
