1993 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Sold at RM Sotheby’s Auction

An exclusive 1993 Mercedes-Benz G-Class recently fetched a staggering $143,000 at RM Sotheby’s auction. This particular model holds a special place in automotive history, being one of only 446 units ever manufactured.

A Royal Connection

Originally owned by the distinguished Saudi royal family, this Mercedes-Benz 500 GE AMG was commissioned by Saudi Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The vehicle underwent extensive customization to reflect the prince’s taste and preferences.

Distinctive Features

The G-Wagon boasts a unique Avantgarde Green paint finish, complemented by wider fenders housing larger AMG alloy wheels. Inside, the cabin exudes luxury with black and grey leather upholstery, walnut wood trim, and a range of premium amenities such as automatic climate control, cruise control, heated front seats, and an electric sunroof.

Powering this exceptional vehicle is a robust 237 hp 5.0-liter V8 engine, delivering a thrilling driving experience. Despite its royal pedigree, this particular model has only clocked 15,072 miles, making it a rare gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

A Legacy of Exclusivity

The 500 GE AMG was crafted during a time when AMG operated as an independent tuning house, distinct from Mercedes-Benz. Originally intended for a limited production run of 500 units, only 446 examples of this exceptional vehicle were ever built, adding to its allure and exclusivity.
