Military 1987 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Could Be the Ultimate Beach Cruiser
W460 1987 Mercedes-Benz 240GD is a competent all-terrain vehicle frequently used by armed forces worldwide. This example is now looking for a plush post-retirement life, preferably near a beach!
Geländewagen
In today's world, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is an established cultural icon. It is a loud and proud representation of opulence. No absence of power in even the lowest trim, the G-Wagen is an irresistible force, with its otherworldly off-roading capability rarely even a topic of discussion anymore. Back in the '80s, though, when this military-grade beast was born, things couldn't have been different for the Geländewagen.
Built to Last
Utilized by armed forces around the world, the diesel-powered "Wolf" was a no-frills, straight-to-the-point vehicle. It was built to be as reliable and durable as a piece of equipment can get, engineered to last upward of a million miles with no more than basic maintenance. In stark contrast to the current G63 models that put down well over 500 horses, this military hauler's 2.4-liter 4-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel motor produces just 70 horsepower and 101 lb-ft of torque.
Low Miles
This 1987 example likely has the majority of its life ahead of it, with just around 14,500 Kilometers on the clock. Sold as an army surplus from Singapore, this Mercedes was imported to the UK by the current owner. It would probably be safe to assume the vehicle didn't see too much action in either its military days or its life in the UK since.
Military Green
Appropriate for its military allocation, the Wolf comes with a flat military green finish contrasted with black accents. It features gloss black 16-inch wheels wrapped with skinny-looking Michelin 4x4 O/R tires. The interior color scheme matches that of the body, with green vinyl trim.
