The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, sometimes called G-Wagen (short for Geländewagen, "cross country vehicle"), is a mid-size four-wheel drive luxury SUV manufactured by Magna Steyr (formerly Steyr-Daimler-Puch) in Austria and sold by Mercedes-Benz. The G-wagen 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. Despite the introduction of an intended replacement, the unibody SUV Mercedes-Benz GL-Class in 2006, the G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz in Daimler's history, with a span of 35 years.
This 1985 SWB Cabrio G-Wagen is a rare RHD 300 turbo-diesel, and has had a full nut and bolt restoration over the last 12 months. It is fast, smooth, powerful, and drives like a new car, as it virtually is. The car has had 2 owners, both Mercedes garages, and comes with full service history. It is fitted with 3 litre om 606 turbo diesel engine and 6 speed manual gearbox.
