Greetings fellow G-enthusiasts...

Newbie here...I've been lurking on and off for a couple of years, most interesting section being the "For Sale" one. Reason not registered so far is I don't have a G, and wasn't considering one in the UK, though I am familiar with it from riding in the back seat during treks to the mountains and wadis (valleys) in the UAE and Oman. Family has owned about 5 in the past many years..and now one shows up of interest, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has come across this particular one before, or knows of any weaknesses/problems:

1995 463 SWB RHD 3.0 i-6 petrol (auto, airbag, sunroof, etc), tourmaline green, the main concern is the 133,000miles on the clock, though if it comes with full service history, need I be worried?
I'm looking for a daily driver that starts every time...
Any input is welcome :D

M2

Can't see the miles being a problem, I used to have a W124 with the 3.0 inline 6 in it, sold it at 176,000 about 6 years ago the guy I sold it too has put another 50,000 on the clock without anything major going wrong. Dunno about the rest of the mechanicals though.

it was on autotrader, by a trader (Mr Wheelhouse, www.wheelhouse.co.uk ).
Let me know if anybody here has bought it, would be interesting to see how they get along (hope the car is trouble-free!)
