EXTERIOR
Finished in original MB Dark Blue (5904) this long-wheelbase G-Wagon looks great against our studio backdrop. The paintwork presents to a very good standard overall with only a few minor blemishes and age-related marks to note on close inspection. There is no damage or major wear to any of the rubber seals or black plastic trims, and the bumpers are also in fine condition. All the lights and glass remain in very good order, the side and rear windows all retaining their original Mercedes etching, the only negative to report here being a small chip on the windscreen. As a UK right-hand drive model this attractive G300 is a rare beast indeed, and rarer still in manual.
INTERIOR
The hard-wearing MB-Tex in airy light grey is a nice contrast against the dark blue exterior. The upholstery is still notable supple and presents in great order throughout, even to commonly worn areas such as the armrests, the only real negative to report being a discreet split on the surface of the driver’s bolster. Glancing across the dash the burred walnut trim appears in fine order with no cracks or sun damage, and the switchgear all feels reassuringly solid to operate. The steering wheel shows no signs of heavy use and there is no damage to any of the interior trim or panels. The rear seats are perfectly presented, and in the boot area you’ll find two foldaway seats for additional passengers.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Reading through the original service booklet it’s clear that the car has been well maintained throughout its life. There are 18 service stamps in the book, 17 of which are from Mercedes-Benz main dealers, and the last being from our trusted Mercedes-Benz specialist, Tim Purslow in Hook. We will be having a fresh service carried out prior to sale for the new keeper’s peace of mind.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The G300 sits on upgraded 18-inch genuine AMG alloys, all in perfect unmarked condition having only been fitted in recent years. They are shod in a matching set of 285/ 60 R18 Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres, each one with plenty of tread left. The brakes have also been checked and remain in fine operational condition, bringing the car to a stop quickly and in a straight line.
HISTORY FILE
This rare UK-supplied manual 300 GEL was first registered in August 1994. It was supplied new by Ryebrook Cars Limited (Mercedes-Benz) and has driven only 102k miles in the hands of just 4 registered keepers.
The accompanying History File is complete with the original Mercedes document wallet and handbooks, a number of recent invoices, and some MOT certificates. Much of the car’s early paperwork has been misplaced but the original maintenance booklet is still present and correct, boasting 17 Mercedes main dealer service stamps plus 1 from our trusted marque specialist.
The service book is stamped at the following mileages: 1, 780 – 7, 404 – 12, 797 – 17, 850 – 24, 171 – 30, 960 – 36, 256 – 42, 076 – 47, 442 – 55, 131 – 59, 740 – 65, 671 – 70, 798 – 77, 452 – 91, 915 – 99, 601 – 100, 738 – and most recently at 102, 113 miles in November 2021.
