The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon (aka G-Class) is a 4x4 "terrain vehicle", originally developed as a military off-roader in Austria. The car is characterised by its industrial boxy looks and body-on-frame construction; it uses three fully locking differentials which makes it rather unique, yet highly capable. The G-Class is one of the companies longest production running vehicles with a span of 42 years. This example is the first generation of the G-Class known (1979-1992), there were three engine options and five body variants with this particular example packing the robust 2.4L diesel. The “Wolf” version of the G Wagon was developed specifically for military use, they have now been deployed by over 45 nations including the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Singapore.

Ideal for a military motor collection or perhaps something a bit different to take into the West End or down to the beach, this ex-Service Singapore Military G Wagon is not your typical G. It was commissioned in August 1990 for the Singapore Military and has been stored in a hanger in Singapore until its export to the UK in 2022. Since its importation, this vehicle has had some remedial work done and was sold on to a private individual who put it up for sale last year. Our client bought it with only 1,500 kms on the odometer and there is paperwork to support this. Since his acquisition, our client carried out various works. A new hood was put on, electrical rewiring was carried out and testing, new Blaupunkt radio fitted, marine grade waterproof speakers were installed, new Hella yellow driving lights fitted, new battery and the car has been fully serviced. This G240D is only being sold as our client is no longer able to drive manual gearbox vehicles anymore. This G Wagon will certainly turn heads and with such low mileage, surely it must be a great vehicle to have some fun in on the coast or attending military themed displays days or just to drive daily!
