The 2005 Mercedes-Benz G400 Convertible is one of the rarest and most distinctive versions of the legendary G-Class, combining rugged off-road capability with open-top luxury. Based on the G-Class platform that has roots stretching back to the late 1970s, the G400 Convertible (often called the G400 CDI Cabriolet in certain markets) was a limited-production model, primarily hand-assembled by Magna Steyr in Austria. It featured a short-wheelbase two-door design, a fully retractable soft top, and the same body-on-frame construction that made the G-Wagon famous for its durability and off-road prowess. Under the bonnet, the G400 was powered by a 4.0 litre V8 turbo-diesel engine, producing around 250 horsepower and a strong 560 Nm of torque. This gave the convertible impressive pulling power and smooth performance both on the motorway and on challenging terrain. Power is transmitted through a five-speed automatic transmission and Mercedes' renowned 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system, which included low-range gearing and three locking differentials rare features for any convertible. Inside, the G400 Convertible offered the opulent comfort expected from Mercedes-Benz, with high-quality leather upholstery, wood trim, and advanced features for its time. Despite its boxy exterior and military roots, it provided a surprisingly refined driving experience.

This 2005 Mercedes-Benz G400 CDi Convertible/Cabriolet presents exceedingly well in navy blue with grey leather interior and a blue soft top. These are well appointed cars with heated seats, air conditioning, electric seats, memory seats all standard equipment. This example is fitted with 23 inch Monoblock Brabus alloy wheels, side running boards, stainless steel spare wheel cover, side running boards, reversing aids, COMAND operating and display system, together with a Brabus front grille. Supplied with a V5 registration document, a current MoT test certificate valid until 10th July 2026 and a history file. The G400 Convertible stands as a collector's gem-valued for its exclusivity, craftsmanship, and the unique combination of ruggedness and luxury that defines the G-Class legacy. Its rarity and timeless design make it one of the most sought-after G-Wagons ever built. Consigned by Stewart Banks
