Although for sale in London, I understand that the last owner is based in Scotland. Anyone know this G or have any comments based on the photos?

I don't know the vehicle. It looks (too) shiny but it probably just the photos. The painted wheels and front bar are the only mods. Missing the MB spare wheel cover which costa lot to buy. Otherwise totally standard high spec G. Has the Webasto heater too which is nice. Gee at that mileage it hasn't seen much use, it does look a good buy but you need all paper work and check underneath as Scots like their salt. One of the last made.

The wheel cover is a genuine MB part: it's the soft version and looks newish, but whoever bought it neglected the badge decal that attaches to the inset area. The bumper corners appear to be unpainted though? Looks like a nice vehicle overall.

It has been for sale for months privately; it was on Autotrader at high £30s and steadily dropped in price. It had a different set of photos on AT and looked to me quite tired especially for the miles. Looks a lot better now it has been cleaned.
