Worth looking at and good price in my opinion. Good colour. I wish I could be in the market for this one.

That's got the correct 463 wheels on it.

It sounds like the seller is the original owner. What a beauty. Full paperwork..

Sorry to "bug" you Ian, but technically, a spider is not an insect.

I was going to say arachnids but decided it wasn't derogatory enough and also, it saved folks from having to google it smiley

No air con and brake fluid looks as though it hasn't been changed for a long time. Otherwise excellent.

"brake fluid hasn't been changed for a long time"

Hi Consur - does this mean you've been to look at the G (or already know it)? Otherwise interested to understand how you can tell.

I thought air con was the exception rather than the rule.

In the engine bay photo, on the left is a rectangular container for brake fluid. Old brake fluid turns dark once it absorbs moisture from the air, reducing the boiling point that can have serious consequences for emergency braking. New MB brake fluid is golden-clear in colour and generally discolours after 2-3 years.

 

It also has the original plastic thermostat cover - later changed to Aluminium as it was prone to fail under heat stress and pressure.
