Newest Military G

I have just come home from the Mercedes-Benz offices in Melbourne after being invited down to have a look at the first of the production military G's as they were being prepared for delivery to the Australian Army. The place is really buzzing down there and there are more vehicles on "the water" and in production. While there are a few changes to production since the 9 prototypes, probably the most interesting model variant was a 6x6 soft top! This is going to be utilised by special forces and will ultimately be equipped with a module incorporating machine gun mount and capacity for 16 fuel cans and I can't remember how many water. This is on top of the 3 on-board fuel tanks so it will have a decent range. You might also noticed a slightly revised side bar/step, 'soft' doors, folding or removable windscreen and more (I had better save something for G'ocentric!). I'm sure that the observant of you will notice a few other changes. Unfortunately I didn't have Carte Blanche with the camera. Many thanks to Mercedes-Benz Australia Pacific Pty Ltd for indulging AGOA once again and particular thanks to the Overlander Team.
