This W460-generation Mercedes-Benz 230 GE is a rugged and capable modern classic 4x4, which has been fitted with several upgrades, including a turbocharged 3.0-litre engine. Under the bonnet now sits a turbocharged 3.0-litre ‘OM606’ diesel engine, which sends its power to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This original Australian-market example was first registered in August 1986 and has been with the seller for two years. The odometer indicates 28,979 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1986 This W460-era 230 GE is finished in a refined shade of light brown, over a black vinyl and grey check cloth-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 15-inch eight-spoke alloy wheels finished in matte-black, framing silver brake callipers, and fitted with Sailun Terramax M/T tyres. Equipment includes headlamp protection grilles, a rear-mounted spare wheel carrier, a two-piece rear bumper, locking front and rear differentials, a VDO analogue clock, a high and low range gearbox, and heater and ventilation controls. The seller states that this example has been fitted with a turbocharged 3.0-litre ‘OM606’ diesel engine, a five-speed manual gearbox, a heavy-duty front brush bar, twin LED Roadvision spotlights, LED headlights, a long-range fuel tank, a Bravo snorkel, 300 GD exterior badges, a 2-inch lift kit, an SaaS oil pressure gauge, a Marine Tech compass, a Pioneer stereo with a smartphone holder, USB and 12-volt inputs, SaaS boost and exterior temperature gauges, a GME CB radio, a Formula air conditioning system, a carbon-fibre gear knob, an SaaS battery voltage gauge, a passenger map light, a wood panelled tailgate with a drop-down table, and a metal hard-pipe intake system with blue silicone hoses. The car comes with two keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: corrosion damage to several areas of the bodywork. The seller notes that the car can be started fine directly via an ignition switch; however, the key no longer properly engages with the pins on the barrel, so the seller has disassembled the ignition barrel ready for a new barrel to be put in, and they have the part on order. This W460-generation Mercedes-Benz 230 GE is a popular modern classic 4x4, which has numerous desirable upgrades to enhance its capability, including a turbocharged 3.0-litre ‘OM606’ engine. Presented in a subtle colour scheme, and boasting impressive all-terrain ability and a spacious cabin, it would make a charismatic companion for daily driving and weekend adventures both on- and off-road.
