New G owner
Hi All
Today I bought my first G Wagen from Griff in Whitby. Its a 92 White SWB Diesel.
Griff is a really nice chap, made me and my wife feel very welcome, and he also gave me some useful information when it comes to G's.
We also had a lovely time in Whitby, we had some nice fish and chips and a nice stroll around, so all in all a good day.
I have some good plans for the G, want to keep it original but will change a few things but nothing too over the top, I want to keep the originality. Now I am a new G owner I will become an active member. It's handy that Scouse G is not too far away from me also!
Thanks

Hello Tony Welcome to the world of SWB G ownership. Grahame is a great contact and I have a 617a transplant thanks to him. I live near manchester airport so if you start to go down the route of thinking the 300 GD is a great car, but just needs a bit more get up and go feel free to get in touch so you can experience the difference. Mind you the 463 300GD might already be a significant leg up on the 460 :-)..

gonna venture offroad much in it...

simon i think its a 463 tony has acquired, not a 460. its a swb all the same.

no worries simon...simple mistake due to excitment ! if you ever visit keep intouch. would be nice to meet up somewhere..
460 diesel is less refined than the 463's super sweet 6 cylinder...performance wise the 463 is a little quicker maybe but not too much power in either really.
this is where the 606a steps in , in terms of the 463..617a is plenty enough for the 460.

Hi Tony and welcome to the club and forum. Lovely G you have there, and I hope it bring you many years of reliable driving. Will you be planning to take it into the 'brown' stuff?
