Looks lovely to my untrained eye and may be worth a phone call!

Silchester are specialist in restoring Mercs. If you have the time worth a look around. Went round with old member Maxwell Smart, as they do a fine SL Pagoda restoration. They loved my G and have done a few restorations. Quality work, the ones I have seen that come up are always at the upper end of £18+K. Not met any members that have owned one though.

take someone with G knowledge too, this is a beauty if its been restored by the sellers.

a great investment..if they took 11k , worth every penny.

Checked and it's still on their website for £14750. Wonder why it never sold....seems ok price wise compared to a lot of fresh ones that people are asking £18k for!

Re: Anyone know this 460?

Don't forget to factor in the Vehicle Registration Tax if your importing to Ireland. I had recent experience with the boys in the tax office on an import and specifically how the VRT is calculated for a G Wagon of similar vintage. So few of them in Ireland, there is no passenger G Wagon on the Revenue Site only commercials, so they look up what they call the 'market value'. I think its based on the average selling price of a similar year / model vehicle on that particular day dependent on which revenue officer is doing the looking. I rang the revenue office multiple times speaking to a different inspector each time getting a different answer each time. I got there in the end and agreed a fair value for VRT purposes.

My only other advise on buying a G is to be super careful. A good one is worth the money and highly reliable. Get a problem G and it can cost you the purchase price again to put right. Not many good ones in Ireland - but if your looking for a 460, not sure why you would go past Eddie' Needamerc Dublin G.

Either way, best of luck with the buying. Highly recommended ownership.
