Well two ebay buyers fell through, A gentleman from Nigeria (and I think his sister) and a load of time sponges! :). Now a once in a life time chance - Price drop to:

£30,750!

It is with regret that I have to put my 2001 Right Hand Drive G500 up for sale. One of about eight cars left in the UK, it is a unique vehicle. As many of you know it has been a working G, being the family car for the past 6 years and has give us many great memories! But needs must and things are such that we have to let it go. I would prefer if it stayed in the “family’ and went to another GWOA member so I am advertising it here first and there is a GWOA discount off what will be the advertised price of £33, 950. It is currently at G Wagen, being brought up to spec – B Service, replacing steering pump etc and my aim is to provide a vehicle that you would be happy with. So what do you get?

That's a real shame, I hope you find someone to give it as much attention as you clearly do. What for the future  - I hope you'll stick around here - something might turn up, you never know :-)

Sad to see it leave though.

Think of it like this Jo....! You've lived the G500 dream for some years now...Others are still waiting for thier turn Pal!

Goodluck selling, wish you all the best!

 All,

Many thanks for your kind words and email of support.

And for those of you who thought my account was hacked or this is a leg pull, sadly this is not the case and my G will have to go. Does not mean I have to leave the GWOA though ..... and things can always get better in the future!

That is such a shame. It is part of you! Let's hope Gav is right and the ticket comes up trumps. I'll even wait for my turn until after you get it!

Hi spider,

firstly a nice vehicle for sure, no doubt about that. I saw you had the DVD screens in the headrests, could you pls tell me what brand they are and simple to get installed ?

Jan,

Sure thing - its an alpine 6 stack DVD/CD player, with wireless headphones. Very neat installation, the player itself is positioned in the middle of the back seats and the amp etc is located in the cubby hole under the 60% double rear seat. PM me your email and I will take some more photos. A god send as I can now talk to my wife on long journeys as the kids keep very quite and a great must if you get tired of playing eye spy! Took about two days to do (professional company) and the screens were the biggest I could get fitted - 7 inches I believe.

HTH
