Re: G Wagon 290GD Ambulance

I was looking for one of these 6 months ago for an article about the adaptation of the G over the years (firetrucks etc).  This looks like a good'un.

Alternatively, with a bit of temporary repurposing, it could make a great little camper van - very popular at the moment.

Good luck with the sale.  I won't ask the reserve, because its so unique.  A few more pics of the G trouble spots would be useful for an online view.

It could make a fine camper too, obviously with work, what are you wanting for it?

These service vehicles often spend more time in the hangar/bay than long commuting.  I think an MOT history would tell best. 

A buyer who wants an 'event' vehicle, to be a mobile stall/stand... plenty of room to load up, somewhere to shelter (where you can stand up), and eye catching.

Sorry for the delay coming back on this.

Yes the mileage is genuine and it's in great condition. It is non-turbo. It has been serviced by Mercedes consistently over the last number of years. Because it's so unique, I'm looking for about £20 K and already have had a couple of people interested.

Any other questions let me know, Kevin
