According to the expert appraisal, the vehicle is in well-kept and technically flawless condition. The history is fully documented, with all maintenance carried out by Mercedes-Benz. A collector’s car with desirable ownership history and first-class provenance.

General information / Model history The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, since 1979 a symbol of rugged off-road engineering and unmistakable design, has been continuously developed over decades without losing its signature character. Originally conceived for military use, the W463 series established itself—especially with the introduction of the G 500—as a luxurious off-road icon. The cabriolet has always been the rarest and most emotional body style. In 2013, production of the G 500 Cabriolet ended with the limited Final Edition 200—only 200 units—a tribute to over three decades of production. Signature elements include exclusive colour combinations, high-quality Designo leather, special plaques and a bespoke equipment package with AMG styling. The 5.5-litre V8 with around 388 hp is considered the last representative of the naturally aspirated engines in the open G-Class.
