I noticed a comment in an advert recently saying that the 463 they were selling had the "ultra-rare" tilt and slide sunroof. Is this true? My G has one (which I like very much) but I wasn't aware that it's a super rare feature. Or is it?

Quite the opposite in UK. I have yet to see a 463 without a sunroof. Ultra rare would be a 6L M119 V8 in a 463 :)

Yes, I rather thought it might be ad speak. Thinking about it, every MB I've had has had a sun roof. 2x163's 1x220 1x126 2x201's....the SL's and the SLK had different types of sun roofssmiley

I have to say I prefer the "moon roof" on the Lexus GS.

 

 

I still have fantasies about putting my 6L lump into the 463 .....indecisionsmiley

My 270 didn't have a sunroof !! Only realised this after buying it .... also was a four seater and not five ...

Lots of the adverts for G Wagens quote lines that make me cringe the sellers think were all thick!

A/C would be very unusual, mine has a rare sunroof

I believe sunroof was a £1000+extra, , nice touch on a 463

From memory, all UK 463's had a Sunroof fitted as part of the standard options pack, unless it was deleted by the customer.

So most will have it...

Re: Sun roof W463

There was a member many years ago who spent about 4 years looking for a G with no sunroof. I think he got a convertible in the end. :)
