G joins the fleet

Hi to all,  I'll be honest. I've only been lurking on this site for about a month. I needed a 4x4 as I'm living in Wales and will need it in winter and to get to my home. I had seen a few G's around and they looked very solid and stylish in a Merc kind of way.
I have two older Mercs already which both have the M110 2.8l petrol engine so the choice was simple. The only problem was the budget. These are still expensive for cars which are over 25 years old and with 100k miles. Anyway......I found a really nice looking original car with full service history and 94k on the clock. The car has been very well looked after but appears to have been little used recently so needs some parts to make it drive much nicer..
It is an 1984 280 GE with LWB in a Astral Silver. It was supplied with an aircon unit which I think is aftermarket but was fitted early on or at purchase. It works well and lives under the centre console. It's nicely done. The interior sold it to me as I had not seen the small check interior anywhere else. It is near perfect. I bought some covers 1st thing to protect them from my ' Lazlo' a big Hungarian Viszla who dribbles on command. Just need some nice floor mats to protect the original vinyl now and of course a dog guard.

thanks to all who have helped me so far. I hope to see you on the road somewhere.
