Mercedes-Benz G - W460 (1980 to 1992)

The first generation of the Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen, or G-Wagen, was introduced for the 1980 model year and built in two separate versions, the 460, which was designated for civilian use, and the 461, which was for military or fleet use. These first generation cars were offered in either a short or long wheelbase, with the short wheelbase offering a convertible option. A wide range of variants were produced, including the gasoline powered 200GE, 230G, 230GE, and 280GE. Diesel variants consisted of the 240GD, 250GD, and 300GD. The first generation of G-Wagen continued until 1992, although its replacement, the W463, was introduced in 1990.
