1982 Mercedes-Benz 280GE | In the Headlight

In the first episode of 'In The Headlight', we take a look at one of the original Mercedes-Benz G-Wagens. This 1982 280GE has lived a long life and has now been lovingly rebuilt by Classic Motorworks, and is now in perfect condition to show us what’s up.
Every car has a story to tell and a personality of its own, and this series will take you through some of those stories and share what’s cool about them.

Great video. Nice to see such enthusiasm and knowledge! I had bought a1989 SWB 230GE for my 18 year old to drive around London with L-Plates. A fun 4x4 but the 230 @ 2300cc @ automatic is snail slow. We sold it before it reached the 35 year point since we got tired of the waiting. Rust is a problem in the body. Engine parts supply is very good - since standard Mercedes Engine.

Update: I just bought (in 2024) this same 1984 LWB 300GD Automatic, white G Wagon in Malaysia, Within a few months will register it in Singapore (Cross fingers). The W460 has stability on the road, power (in 300GD and 280GE formats). Our Malaysian V8 VX Landcruiser is faster and smoother. But this 300GD we can drive to Singapore (!) and bring friends.

[@Dr3aMz1982]

thanks for bringing this classic G-Wagen! Could you consider talking about the maintenance of such classic cars as well for future series? Thank you! btw, I Absolutely love the video!! great job!!

Better to have this nice vintage G-Wagen in good condition rather than the latest one, in my opinion. This 1982 model is really what a G-Wagen is supposed to be. It's definitely a cool SUV 👍

Great car Great video! 100-120K is a good deal for a done up G - after now much is spend on the car.

You are half right if you said military. SAF uses G wagons too. Of course the toned down G professional or even something as old as this
