1985 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 280GE 2.8L 4WD

My 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280GE is a right-hand drive, two-door wagon that was imported from the UK.Power is provided by a 2.8-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case. The fender flares and grille were painted to match the body under previous ownership, while I had the alternator, fuel system components, and shocks replaced. It is an honest, reliable car my wife and I drive almost daily. There are rust spots on the body and some on the undercarriage, but nothing that impacts the structural integrity - it is cosmetic.
The exterior is finished in silver, and the fender flares and grille were painted to match the body by the previous owner. There is a bit of corrosion at the bottom of the cargo door, below the taillights, in several body seams, and along the sills. A gap is evident between the left front flare and fender.
Painted 16? alloy wheels are shod in 31?x10.5? Primewell Valera HT tires, and a covered spare is mounted at the rear along with a tow ball. The front end features driving lights, a bumper-mounted recovery point, and headlamp guards.
Stock tartan door panels are present inside, as are custom-ordered cloth seat panels used in Mercedes-Benz SEL models. The truck is equipped with manually-operated windows and seats, window tint, vinyl front floor covers, and a cloth cargo mat.
The five-digit odometer has rolled over and shows 39k miles, approximately 25k of which have been added during the my five-year ownership. An older Sony cassette stereo is fitted in the dash, and the truck is not equipped with air conditioning. The driver’s door squeaks when opened and closed.
The 2.8-liter M110 inline-six sends power to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case. Maintenance performed under the seller’s ownership reportedly included replacement of the alternator as well as the fuel pump, filter, and lines.
