A 3.5 V8 installed but no pictures so who manufactured it is anyones guess
Chech the sellers own website:
emperorcarriages.co.uk/car-listing/1992-mercedes-g-wagon-with-a-full-2012-g55-amg-conversion/
It's for sale at an unbelievable £59,999!!! For a 20 year old vehicle with a possibly dodgy conversion .........and still no pictures of the engine!
Hi
and how do you describe it to an insurance company in order to get a reasonable premium !!!
I bet he dosen't - he's made it up and will sell it to someone who's problem it will be year after year.
£50k?
That's a serious price tag for a 460! It's not a W463 - manufacture year is 1989 for sure, the fuel filler/interior gives it away.
Hang on a cotton picking minute!
To be a 55 you need to have a 5.5ltr engine, not a 3.5.....Trade descriptions and local trading standards please! :)
What I found funny was the choke! Not seen those in ANY AMG and just loving the parking camera. Goochie you sure its not one of yours? I mean, for a time you did have one of the only 300 V8’s G's in the world (lol).
Mind you if he does get the money for It I will ask him to sell mine, as he could get me at least £80K.....

1992? Difficult to know where to start with the mis-description!
A lot of people don't realise that the value of a used modified car is often less than the sum of parts that have gone into it. Wishful thinking...seats from an ML, and a manual to boot, at least I'd expect it to shift itself for 50k, and a glove box that fits.
If it is an MB lump I guess it must be an M116. Wouldn't fancy that in a truck.
The conversion cost £150k and he only wants £50k, so you are saving £100k if my maths is correct.
MB 3.5L last used in 1979 I think in the 350 SE. Everything stacks up, unique G.
Where's the bottle gone, oh it's empty.
It's a BARGAIN.....where's my chequebook.............................nurse..................................nurse i think my medication is wearing off.
who's going to be the first to ring him up and ask the obvious...
1. You having a laugh !
2. Who in their right mind spent that sort on money on a 460 re-furb
3. its worth £10k tops
4. good luck
LOL, You making me chuckle Jo stop it. I only considered the v8-w463's ;)
I think he's trying to get most of his money back - especially if he's invested 100k like he states from the description.
Oh I do like a good banter eh.....
Go on I dare you! LOL
Ho hum...maybe an unwilling donor ..{ A.S.P.]..classic drug dealer special...love the speaker !!
Here you go!!!
460 LWB 5 speed diesel built in Graz late 1989 liveried cream/white....usual 460 features optional 4 wheel drive ....no aircon..front disc brakes...no electric windows.... might be worth buying ( cheap) as an example of how to spend lots of money and end up with nothing.............
It has a Range Rover V8 fitted, my guess that even with that unit the gearbox will be marginal.
Gooch,
You still have your 500? James has one going spare down at Caversham....:)

Rang him....its should say £5995 and not £59,995 ! and £10,000 spent not £100,000 as most parts come from scrapped motors....he just wanted to put all that Shite to see how many annoying phone calls he would get from tyre kicking G wagen enthusiasts....think the name Huss was mentioned "wink"....I also asked for the original owners number...as I want to convince him to to give me a loan for £100k and ill give him £10K 12 months later...
Classic! *insert big smiley*
Cheeky dealer!
The advert now says £49,000, if that translates to £4,900 then its worth having as its had a lot of work done, will still need a proper engine though. Where's Axel when you need him!
Knew my phone call would make a difference
now on e-bay at £50k buy it now

I am sure it was an exercise to test the water, to see what the market would stand.

And is it a 3.5 Merc V8 if it is its very old engine indeed, if its a Range Rover engine it is very old too and an even older design.
