My first G was a 1984 280GE which I ordered built new and picked up in Stuttgart. The shot is on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria shortly after we took delivery.

I kept it from 1984 to 2002 and a total of 111,000 miles. Unmodified, it took me to some pretty neat places.

My second and current G is a Europa Int'l G500 NMLE which I purchased used in 2002 and have added 67,000 miles till now. It, too, is stock except for 16" Atik wheels.

In my experience, the G is quite capable right out of Graz.

Interesting. Could you provide more details regarding the trailer. Pics are also welcome. Thanks.

Here's a few shots of my 93 300GD. I did the conversion from dangerous gasoline to sweet smelling diesel. I'm using the OM603, 6 cylinder turbo.

Great thread, love seeing G's from all parts of the world.
From down south in Australia I have a 1982 280GE, its an auto and has the Mercedes auxiliary fuel tanks. Suspension is King springs and Koni shocks with 33" BFG mud terrains.
On the short term to do list is a 40mm body lift and 35" mud terrains, longer term is an OM606 engine transplant
