Mercedes-Benz 300GD Cabriolet €100K + Restoration

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire what is undoubtedly one of the finest factory right-hand-drive 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300GD (W460) Cabriolets in existence. Finished in striking Astral Silver with a contrasting black soft top, this short-wheelbase icon has undergone a comprehensive, cost-no-object restoration totaling over €100,000 with receipts and restoration records on file. Blending authentic vintage off-road lineage with incredible modern execution, this immaculate RHD Cabriolet presents in wonderful condition and stands as arguably one of the best examples to come to market in recent memory. The exterior presentation is flawless, showcasing laser-straight panel fitment, factory badging, and pristine paintwork. Equipped with a new soft top side over a fully functional folding frame, side steps, rear mudflaps, and a covered rear spare wheel carrier, it offers total versatility for open-air summer driving. The vehicle sits aggressively on its original alloy wheels that are wrapped in heavy-duty BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A tires, underscoring its muscular, go-anywhere stance. Every seal, lighting unit, and trim component was renewed or restored during its multi-phase rebuild to ensure perfection from every angle. Inside, the bespoke cabin balances classic G-Wagen utility with a modern twist. The front features custom-trimmed Recaro sport seats upholstered in supple black leather with period-correct grey-and-black check fabric inserts. A new Blaupunkt stereo upgraded speakers and a subwoofer mean listening to your favourite music is a pleasure. The right-hand-drive cockpit is further elevated by a refreshed leather steering wheel, pristine original dashboard layout, tactile mechanical differential lock levers, and new and correct rubber floor mats throughout. It is a delightfully tactile, period-faithful environment that feels completely factory-fresh. Under the bonnet, the legendary 3.0-litre OM617 5-cylinder diesel engine sits in an original engine bay, comprehensively serviced and ready for whatever it’s asked to do. Mechanically sorted without compromise, the restoration covered a suspension overhaul, rebuilt driveshafts, a brand-new fuel system, and refreshed braking components. Delivering bulletproof reliability, smooth power, and unstoppable four-wheel-drive capability, this investment-grade 300GD Cabriolet is completely turn-key and ready for immediate enjoyment by its next custodian.
