burr walnut and aircon weren't so "rare" on Gs..unless he means the whole car is rare, then again there are G300s registered up to 2 years after that!

 Does a RHD really increase the value by THAT much? One could get a reasonable condition 10/97 G320 cabrio!

Re: Very Neet G300 with loads of options....

Hi
Not so pretty when you enlarge the pictures to full screen...front passenger door pocket panel missing ....lots of stains on the front footwell carpets (water ingress from the usual places?) appears to have early 463 wheels...various holes in the facia (when you remove the phone brackets)...and the sunroof problem....no mention of how many owners ...specific service history ?? it seems to be the standard build specification for a 1994 300GEL only rare because there were not many RHD built...there is one lying unused in Ireland to exactly the same spec as advertised and it was delivered in June 1994 on an "M" plate.

Re: Very Neet G300 with loads of options....

Have checked the car out recently, the carpets are cream after all! Owner has put the Pasenger side door Pocket in place. Has brand new carpets as well in cream velour . No water ingress. And no holes I spotted in dash, MOBILE phone holder etc, had a very carefull look. sunroof was going up and down but very slowly..

cheers

Its nice and has a nice spec but only the airbag and the cruise control are that unusual. I think its over priced though

Re: Very Neet G300 with loads of options....

 agree with you prwales and fixwin. it's a nice car, but did they have airbags in 1994....i thought this was only in 1997 onwards? Something isn't adding up. No mention of rust treatment, which I'd really like to know about, or servicing. If the seller has a full (and complete with bills, mots, etc, etc) service history he might have a point to ask for 17k. If he doesn't have it, I think he's overpriced the vehicle.ph

 Yes, they have airbags in 94 for sure. Mine was made in summer 94 and it has a driver's airbag.

Re: Very Neet G300 with loads of options....

Hi
I'm without a proper 4x4 at the moment following the sale of a petrol 300 last May But just spotted a 1993 diesel on pistonheads looks ok and is in Dorset
Would be interested but its a manual and I need auto due to worn out left knee !
Its done 170000 but looks good if a little overpriced

That's a good find, though when you look at the 'front on' look, the near side mount and rad look out of place? Or is it just my old eyes?

Re: Very Neet G300 with loads of options....

 Anyone know the history of this vehicle?  I have emailed the seller via piston heads for some info with no response!   Anyone seen it in the flesh?
