The very similar ex MOD armoured G500's that were for sale at auction a couple of years ago went for around £18k, although they were a bit of a state inside.

They are now for sale at Jacksons, I think they have eight of them left.

With that weight I'm guessing around 10mpg would be good. Is that about right?

That one in Poland doesn't look like the fully armoured G. Compare the pics of the one at Jacksons. The windscreen is 3" thick and the rear doors are double to handle the extra weight.

Fully Armoured G Guard is 4600kg

Only 3 miles from where i live if anybody needs one checking out / more photos etc.

Awesome place for a wander round for an hour or ten, if you can get in!!!
