Hi guys, G19 WAG, 1991 300 Auto with 198k in green. Nice car but wondered if anyone can shed some light on its history or if we have any previous owners on here? Thinking of purchasing but high miles are slightly putting me off. Thoughts welcome.

This one? Check the service records for a replacement cylinder head gasket as they can fail at anything over 150k miles, and if its been done, This car doesn't have leather on the door cards which is a bit strange and the up dated grille is naff but apart from that, it looks fine, the milege shouldn't worry you.

Re: anyone know this lwb g wagon..

Nice looking G, good interior from the pics. The plastic for the door bins is normal, certainly on my 463 they are hard plastic like those ones, but in grey. You may like to call James at G Wagen in Caversham, as it was supplied by them (possibly a Max McArthur one) and they would know the early history?

Get the VIN if you can, and see of our 'wizards' can pull any info on it. The Wag reg was supplied on all his G's at the start, I believe.

Look forward to seeing a member in it soon!

Re: anyone know this lwb g wagon..
Mr p are you referring to current owner purchasing for £5/6k? Thanks for pms and replies on here I will chase up monday and decide. It's either this, a 911 964 or a chevrolet corvette so a nice blend! Let's see which one wins.

It was for sale on eBay from a guy who sells g wagens in Hemel Hempstead area..about 2-3 months ago..as mentioned the Milage is about right..the now defunct LPG conversion with twin tanks in rear was done by Tim..it was a good motor when I had it..12 years ago!
