This short-wheelbase W463-generation Mercedes-Ben G300 GE is a timelessly specified and well-preserved example of the stylish yet dependable modern classic 4x4, which is reported to be in highly original condition. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre inline-six, which sends its power to all four wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. This example was originally a Japan-delivered model, which was imported and first registered in Australia in June 2023. The odometer shows 143,747 Kms from new. This G300 GE is finished in the refined shade of Brilliant Silver Metallic over a black cabin, featuring black half vinyl and patterned grey cloth upholstery, as well as handsome wood veneer trim inlays. It rides on an aftermarket set of 18-inch ‘Ashtaroth’ five-spoke alloy wheels sourced from a G500 from the period, and shod in Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tyres. The factory specification includes an electric sliding/lifting sunroof, protective headlamp grilles, three locking differentials, a low-range gearbox, air conditioning, heater and ventilation controls, a heated rear screen, and electric front windows. This example also features a front bull bar, an aftermarket Pyle stereo with USB and auxiliary inputs, and a Pioneer reversing camera – although a compatible head unit will be required to use it. The car comes with the tool kit, a bottle jack, a warning triangle, the import certificate from Japan, as well as all the other import documentation. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the bonnet has recently been repainted due to rust repair from a stone chip, a couple of small areas of rust, touch-ups on the bull bar, a couple of holes on the dashboard from previously installed items, and slight wear on the driver’s seat. The car’s last REGO test was conducted on 28 June 2023, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. Notable recent maintenance includes all new tyres being fitted, a new driver’s side door card pocket, a rust spot on the bonnet repaired, all new oils, and the spark plugs replaced. This short-wheelbase W463-generation Mercedes-Benz G300 GE is a timeless and well-preserved example of the rare and versatile modern classic 4x4, which is reported to be in highly original condition. Presented with a refined Brilliant Silver Metallic, a stylish yet hard-wearing cabin, and a dependable inline-six engine, it would make a stylish yet highly capable companion for retro daily driving, and weekend adventures both on and off the beaten track.
