I :heart: the Mercedes Geländewagen. Always have done. There's just something about them... I'm not really a 4x4 kinda guy but I'd love one of these. They don't half hold their value well judging by what's around on Autotrader! I prefer the early ones to the later blinged-up 'uns. Utilitarian chic ;D So who has had one? What are they really like? Anyone got any cool pics? I have some to get the thread going ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/DarrenW/G-Wagen/swbs3.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/DarrenW/G-Wagen/pub708.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/DarrenW/G-Wagen/Mercedes-BenzGelndewagen.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/DarrenW/G-Wagen/ig-sport-01-500.jpg) ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v252/DarrenW/G-Wagen/hackett21.jpg)

I too share your G love and likewise would like to know more about them. This one's heading in the right direction for me, surprised there aren't more pics of lifted ones, is there a reason? ![](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/2524226141_70f3012e17_o.jpg)

Anything that has pyramid shaped wing mounted indicators the size of a suitcase is always going to be a winner in my eyes. Plus the fact they can accommodate stupidly big tyres and they are hewn from a solid block of titanium....what's not to like. I'll have mine in brown over cream please. Like this one I saw at the Enfield Pageant, but I'll take the SWB and stick some 37" MT's on there while you're at it. And a winch. ![](http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i251/bruceholder/Retro/Events/Enfiled10/EP09.jpg) ![](http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i251/bruceholder/Retro/Events/Enfiled10/EP08.jpg) Yep...that'll do.

I think they look the nuts. I always think that if you were to drop one from a height, they would cause the earth to move from its orbit rather than break! It is just the air of solidness they give off.

Capable - equal to LR(and larger payload options on bigger units!) ![](http://abytesgen01.securesites.net/ryan_murdock/sheppard4.jpg) Overlander Tom Sheppard moved from LR to G-Wagen, and is very happy with the decision after working for LR for many years. Or if something a little quicker is called for..... ![](http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2009/02/30_Years_GWagen_Dakar.jpg)
