MB Selling the G Class in the UK again.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this, but Mercedes have decided to start selling the G Class in the UK again. This is not available at all dealers, and as far as I know will be LHD, but will be UK spec cars with normal dealer warranty etc.
I will have full details later today and will post up when I have it. I will have the price of the LWB G320, G500, and G55 AMG models.
From what I understand, it will only be available from one dealership, and order time is approximately 3-5 months.
I'll post up again when I have more information.

MB in Park Royal (was Mayfair) always sold the G in full UK spec...
As far as i know, all the diplomatic sales (thus G sales) are through MB Ealing. But what's new int he announcement? They have been selling new G's for several years over here.
Right had it clarified now, and is all rather complicated! Initially spoke to MB Brooklands who told me that MB Chelsea were now selling the G Class in the UK. Aparantely Brooklands want to sell it, but the only dealer selling is Chelsea.
Anyway spoke to Chelsea who confirm they could supply. They told me of a G55 coming in next week, BLK on BLK, LHD. Anyway they get the car next week so Im planning on taking a look. Downside is that its a 2+2 conversion and it was manufactuered in 2008 (pre facelift) before it was sent to AMG for all the options it has.
However then they call back and tell me that in fact they cannot supply new G Class's and this one is actually a one off. Originally orderred for Nigeria through the MB Export Division, who then cancelled his order and is available through the retail network.
If you want to order one to your spec it is available in the UK through MB Export division on 0870 850 0533. The car will be registered as normal in the UK.
I spoke to the MB Export Division and prices are as follows:
G350 CDi LWB - £64,332
G500 LWB - £79,604
G55 AMG LWB - £107,598 (+£30K for RHD Conversion from AMG).
Prices are based on today's Euro conversion rate, and will vary accordingly. Price also includes Delivery and VAT.
Ordering today will give a Nov/Dec build with a Dec/Jan delivery.
Anyway hope that helps to all who are looking for a new one. I didnt realise they were available in the UK new.
Makes my RHD G500 at £25k and only 67.5kmiles a steal then :wink:
And you got me all excited..... :cry:
I know that Brooklands are trying to be able to sell RHD's. They want to carry the 463 AND the 461 but only 320 and 500 in 463 and the 280, 320 and 300? D's (Not good on my diesel engine sizes).
The problems needed to overcome, that was explained to me was;
Technically the export sales can take orders for ANY mercedes
They don't want the G to take sales from the top end ML and GL range
They think the number would be too low (which is why they pulled out last time)
What Brooklands have see in a number of G's being serviced there, and NEW customers asking when they see the mighty G outside for collection after work is done - why they cant get one in RHD.
MB Brooklands is meant to be the flagship for MB in the UK, so technically they should carry the full range of Road vehicles, with the Australian purchase and the fact that they are not carrying the full compliment of MB's they are trying to get an extension to the RHD run and do some for the UK to UK spec - NOT LHD.
They will not be cheap - that's all they said to me.......

A few weeks ago I had something to do with the Export division(G280CDI BA10s for Taiwan-R.O.C.) and I also asked about the RHD G300CDI(G280CDIs were only available to order until mid-July). They told me it is possible, but the baseprice will be somewhere in 65 000 Euro range without VAT and without options.
well spider, just think landrover enthusiast are in the same boat, £60k but only LHD http://www.difflock.com/magazine/4x4_News/Fire_and_Ice_limited_edition_D... who the fuck is going to spend £60k on a 50 year old motor with a transit engine in it ? jesus.

Small update for you. Jo, calm down. RHD is available but only in the G55. I think most already knew that.
They have a G55 coming in next week which I am scheduled to see. Black with Black leather, and full options. Unregistered with delivery miles. This one is a LHD though.
I hope to post again later once I have prices of the LHD G320 and G500, and RHD G55.
Max is Park Royal still there? I thought it closed down years back?
