Re: My ARMOURED G is for sale

great price, because this currently costs about $120,000 to have Mercedes add to your G!

RE: My ARMOURED G is for sale

it certainly opens up some dangerous travel possibilities..

if that was an embassy car, i would think the service was top rate.





was the G a canadian market vehicle in this year or is is a "gray" market there too?

Re: My ARMOURED G is for sale

Here in the canada the rule for imports is 'must be 15 years old'. Federalizing a car in Canada is (what I think) unpossible.
So the car has been imported as an 'embassy vehicle' in Canada. So the embassador had a lot of choice and also a lot of tast.

RE: My ARMOURED G is for sale

Very interesting....Can you tell us more about a few things (unless you already have in another post and just want to direct me there);

--Why is the area behind the rear seats portioned? Was an armored rear window(s) not enough?
--What are the red buttons on/behind center console for?
--What is the device w/ the cord in the glovebox for?
--Is it fully armored underneath (ie from mines, IED's, etc)?
--How much more does your rig weigh vs a non-armored G320?

Thanks very much!
-Jeremy

Re: My ARMOURED G is for sale

1. The luggage compartiment is not protected. Includes the rear door and both side windows.
Those early armoured 463 has such configuration. I think that armouring the rear door would be to heavy for the hinges. In a regular G the rear door feels very heavy. In this G the side doors feels twice as heavy as the rear door. The newer armoured g's has the barn doors to cut the weight on the back door.

2. Panic alarm button. VVVVVVEEEEERRRRRRYYYYYY loud. Do not try this in your garage!!!

3. This is part of the communication system. This is the microphone so you can communicate with people outside. There is a speaker outside and there is also a micro under each side mirror.

4. no idea. It is B6 armoured. I do not know what it stops.

5. If i remember well is that the weight is 3820kg. I do not know if this the max weight or weight empty. A regular 5 door G320 (1996) had an empty weight of 2320kg and a max weight of 3050kg.

more questions?

Re: My ARMOURED G is for sale

The 3820kg is max loading weight. So there is a difference between this G and a regular G of 770kg (1694). I do not know if that difference in weight is due to the armouring.
