BRABUS - How much do we really know about older models?
Hi all,
Been a while, thought i would share some things of mine here. I have been going over older W463 models in my picture archives etc.
I love older 'Brabus Autosport' Motors, you have really appreciate the depth Brabus put into their cars even today!
I. Have owned two G36 Brabus w463's and can say that they have given me such pleasure to drive. Both models have had buffalo hide by brabus! upper/lower dash hand stitched, door cards and rear benches in their styling, period door kick plates. List goes on and on.
One of my dream motors is the 560GE kicking out 300 BHP, quite impressive in those days! Cannot find none for sale in Europe even today.
i have some pictures of these motors I will share with you....enjoy.
another Rare G wagon I have owned is on sale by a trader on the Autotrader for 25k it's my old 1993 Mercedes 500GE(AMG) model, rare amethyst blue mettalic, factory two tone interior etc. I imported that one myself some years back!
Enjoy folks
Goochie.

My old G36 brabus
Notice 1st pictures Black G36 brabus's centre Grille from 96 ??
thats right! No Merc star..... Same grille is used today a decade later on the GV12 models
2nd pic. Gv12 model today
I believe the Brabus 3.6 was an adaption of the m103 12v 3 litre engine using a crank from the 3.5 turbo diesel
Hello mate,
Nice picture!

Thanks, I have a 3 litre w124 which is a quick vehicle hard to imagine what 450 bhp would be like
Power band!
Don't know much about older models.
BUT i know i want this one = http://vvsuk.co.uk/sports-cars/mercedes-benz/used-mercedes-benz-g%20class-527.htm
What a motor!
you ain't wrong !!!
Picture or door-sill already showing rust.
Interior is mostly nice, but I totally dislike the exterior styling.
I did wonder if that was rust on the door sill !
Right that's the deal breaker ! I ain't buying it now !!!
i would love to see this UGLY THING doing the strata florida

Wow the styling on that is just all wrong!
Hi Gooch, I like your G36, nice colour and interior, well ahead of its time (I assume the G36 was sold in the early nineties).
You mentioned the G560. What is the story here? I have heard only two have been built (460?).
Hi mate,
no this was a version for any G -klasse, basically whoever had the funds available......similar story today.
there are x2 versions of the w463 models that were available from 92-97.
1. 500GE and 600GE(5.6) Early AMG versions
2. G36 and 560GE Brabus
If you study the pictures in the 560GE Brabus and look at my Link to the Catalogue for Brabus you'll see a resemblance in the Brabus trim etc.
Mine is even better than the 560GE pictured.....no lie. Upper/lower/ lower centre dash all leather, digital readout on dash-brabus oil cooler. Door cards in brabus, mats etc, brabus kick plates, burl wood gear/h/l gear selector, even the rear bench seats are in the same design leather. Buffalo leather trim. I have the same wheels with colour coding etc etc.
G560 have always been available but only in LHD form. But very few were made/sold. Plenty of Deutchmarks for that time.
cheers

see pics on 560GE
Lorinser and 'carat dutchulat' had and still have their own creative versions today of our beloved g-wagons.
see picture
Did someone say the styling was wrong on that white one ?
Who is "Lorinser" and "Carat Dutchulat" ? cousins of Liberace ? That ali chequer plate thing is just pure NAUGHTY !!!
Ha haaaaa, Google the companies mate.
we've owned many rare Mercedes models, maybe pics on google images history.
maybe give you an insight on these models/models
cheers

Not BRABUS.
Camper! Anyone? Or convertible 4-door?
I had a 4 door 1990 Brabus G36. The hp was good compared with the 170hp from a regular 300ge.
I did not liked the leather interior. the color changed due to the sun and was irregular all over the interior.
with the m103 engine, a very rare vehicle

yes very true, one thing I have found on the brabus models is that the leathers suffer from losing their colour fast.
i have the same interior inc. The brabus label tag, very rare indeed.
Found my dream motor price is in DK.
BRABUS 560GE - WOW!
