This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine early G Wagon, which is ready for adventure. Fitted with the ever popular 3.0-litre petrol and desirable manual gearbox. Recently resprayed at a cost of £9,000 and with almost £10,000 spent on an underside refresh, the vehicle presents extremely well with gleaming paintwork and excellent interior. In February 2025, the full ignition system was replaced, including coil, distributor cap, rotor arm, leads, and spark plugs. The clutch was recently renewed with an OEM Sachs unit, and new rear springs fitted. Engine oil services were carried out at 139,049 miles (August 2023) and 143,991 miles (October 2024). The 4x4 system, low-range gearbox, and three diff locks all function correctly, while 31-inch Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tyres with good tread provide unstoppable traction in challenging conditions. This is a G Wagon that will happily take on serious off-road terrain without hesitation, though it's probably in too nice a condition to do so!

Inside, the car offers a usable combination of classic utility and modern convenience. It features electric windows, mirrors, central locking and an aftermarket retro-styled Continental radio with Bluetooth for contemporary connectivity. Unlike many older G Wagons, which are either worn-out, heavily modified into AMG-style machines or exceptionally expensive pristine examples, this 300 GE strikes the ideal balance being unmodified and ready to enjoy. With the lively 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine and manual gearbox, it is far more rewarding on the road than its diesel W460 predecessors, keeping up confidently with traffic while retaining its classic character. A rare, versatile and highly usable G Wagon, this 300 GE is ready for its next adventure. Supplied to auction with V5 registration document, MoT valid until June 2026 and being fresh from an underside refresh, this example looks to be excellent value. Consigned by Fraser Smith
