Press G-Wagens
Over the years, MBUK/ATL owned a number of GWagens whose main use was to be borrowed by the media and which featured in a number of magazines. I have gathered the registration numbers of some of these Gs, and I would think that their current owners might me interested to know where and when their pride and joy featured.
I would think that the list is not comprehensive so if you have a period magazine which features a GWagen not included in the list, let us know and we'll include it. If you own of of such Gs, we'd love to hear your story.

Many thanks.
do you know why most of the vehicles featured registrations end in NH Is it something to do with area they were "Borrowed from" as this is the area code part of the reg
Just interested thats all
ANH is a northampton registered vehicle, milton keynes was bedfordshire, I cant remeber what beds reg's were now.
hi,was just looking though and noticed that you have my g number in your who g was that. the number of my g is H585 ANH. nice to know shes been in a mag. :lol:
hi guys H586 ANH currently on e bay item 4597232664 also on autotrader
I am not saying this is what the guy is doing BUT its cheap advertising to put a vehicle on ebay with a high reserve so it doesnt sell but the company gets lots of exposure...or is that the cynic in me
Hello
In addition, C435 KNH was the Allan Day/MB Press Car. I only know that because I've still got it. It came with all the factory options and extra width arches. Still a great truck which I enjoy 8)

Hey Jesus,
I think I spotted an oxymoron in there somewhere. :lol:

I am not aware of this one appearing in any magazine but by it registration (L413LVV) it is clearly sister to the 300 GE LWB featured in the "Mercedes" magazine of Summer 1994 on a trip to Wales:
