      Hallo. Warum ist der G schon wieder in der Auktion?

        Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, wie eine kurze Recherche mit einem frei zugänglichen VIN-Decoder ergeben hat, wurde der hier angebotene G entgegen der Angebotsbeschreibung einst als GD 240 (Sauger) ausgeliefert. Bei dem „Austauschmotor“ handelt es sich also um einen Motorumbau. Darüberhinaus stimmt die Angabe zum Baujahr ebenfalls nicht - der G wurde bereits 1980 an die bzw. über die Niederlassung München ausgeliefert. Diese Informationen könnten für potentielle Interessenten und vor dem Hintergrund einer (Wieder-)Zulassung in Deutschland von Bedeutung sein.

            Technik: Anforderungen für den Geländewagen waren in erster Linie Geländetauglichkeit, auch unter erschwerten Bedingungen, Zugkraft und Langlebigkeit. Entsprechend ist das G-Modell ausgelegt. Die Basis des Fahrzeugs bildet ein Kastenrahmen aus geschlossenen Längsprofilen und Quertraversen. Die Achsen sind starr, im Gelände nützlich sind die langen Federwege und die große Bodenfreiheit sowie zuschaltbare Differentialsperren. Im Gelände zeigte die G-Klasse gute Leistungen, so dass das Auto bis heute nicht nur von Offroad-Freunden, Jägern und Reitern gekauft wird. Verschiedene Streitkräfte, Feuerwehren, Katastrophenschutz und die UNO nutzen die Wolf genannte Militärversion des G-Modells. LG Tom
