the door cards ought to have matching rucked leather so these may be a retro fit otherwise looks ok. Its best to do a personal inspection of the underneath checking out the rear suspension turrets and inside the front floor 4 windscreen wiper leaks

Would also check and validate the mileage - though if the service details stack up against it - great!

Must ahve been owned by a member once - as I see some retro Gwhizz's in the goodie pack. The side steps are aftermarket. Its air conditioning and not climate control, Looks like an old members truck (M4age - his forum name).

As PRW has suggested get it checked, I think either RAC or AA will do a 120 point inspection for £100-£125 (cheaper if you are a member) which c=gives peace of mind.

I wish.

RAC "essentials" check doesn't apply to vehicles over 10 years old or 4 x 4s. Their Essentials Plus inspection costs members £305 for 4 x 4 vehicles and as it's over 20 years old they charge even more.

Those running boards are standard MB factory and are straight and shiny, so either new or it's never been over a large obstacle.

It also has a webasto heater and a/c which are rare options.

No engine pictures unfortunately.

Looks original from the pics but you need to look underneath

if you know g-wagens check it yourself or take a club member or a Merc specialist with you, can't rely on AA or RAC. They are factory fit side steps and a nice rear sliding window set too, theres a lot to like about this car

Decided it's a petrol for me - but interested to know if you did go to look and if so what your impressions were.

looks very tidy  !

 

and well spec'd. ac and auto and heater...not been molested by the looks of it and perfect base G for  a 606a conversion. only niggle would be that the left bumper end cap would be for jesus's narrow axle 463 not this uk spec G.

 

VERY NICE.

 

but a close inspection would have been a must.

Back on ebay again. Anyone know why the sale fell through? Does that sort of thing happen often? 

Looks nice, even the wife said it didn't look to ridiculous, which is high praise indeed :)

looks to be still unsold and apart from the high mileage, to be in great condition in terms of trim and appearance. As mentioned above, a check of the engine-bay and chassis would be needed.
