If your idea of G-Class ownership doesn't involve oversized wheels, aftermarket body kits, or even a 5.5 litre fire-breather of an engine, but rather the original styling and everyday usability, this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GE must be considered. It has covered a little over 110,000 miles in its 33 year life, and the cherished registration 'G20 WAG' is included in the sale. Its blue bodywork further cements the understated styling and the grey interior is similar to what you'd find in a standard Mercedes-Benz saloon from that era.

First registered in April 1991, over three decades ago, this example is powered by a three litre straight-six engine mated to an automatic gearbox. The dark blue colour scheme seems to be a great choice, and the paintwork is in very good order. Previously owned by the CEO of Howdens Kitchens, the car resided in Scotland where it was maintained regardless of cost. £14,500 was spent on a complete retrim in grey leather as well as the respray in the blue paintwork you see today. The current vendor purchased the car in 2023 for considerably more than our estimate, but has decided to offer it for sale as it simply isn't getting used as much as he anticipated it would. The previous owner purchased the vehicle in 2021 and treated the 300 GE to a no expense spared service and maintenance program with Edward Hall Mercedes-Benz specialists costing circa £16,500! The work included a new head gasket, fuel lines, the underside was treated and undersealed, new alloy wheels, new all-terrain tyres and new side steps, it's safe to say this G Wagen has been in the right hands and pretty much no stone has been left unturned.

The history file accompanying the car includes the original toolbox, many previous MoT test certificates, sundry bills including invoice's totalling circa £14,000 for interior retrimming and an overhaul and the more recent invoice for £16,500. Other works include £2,000 spent in 2010, the UK registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until April 2025. Offered with its private and fitting registration number, this is a superb opportunity to acquire a sound 300 GE! Consigned by Fraser Smith
