The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, launched in 1993, immediately distinguished itself as a superior all-terrain vehicle, seamlessly blending robust off-road performance with on-road comfort and refined aesthetics. This particular short wheelbase G320 model holds a unique distinction: it was originally owned by Philippe Starck, the globally acclaimed designer renowned for his focus on impactful and life-enhancing creations.
This 1995 Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a testament to the model’s enduring appeal, served as Philippe Starck’s daily vehicle for many years, accumulating just over 100,000 kilometers. Registered under his name in 2007, it was subsequently carefully preserved. In 2021, recognizing its significance and inherent quality, the vehicle underwent a comprehensive overhaul and full service by Bracq Heritage, a renowned specialist, with invoices evidencing works nearing €30,000. Reflecting Starck’s passion for music, a high-end Hi-Fi system was also recently installed, enhancing the vehicle’s modern appeal while respecting its classic roots.
This model embodies the understated elegance of the first generation G-Class (Type 463). Powered by a responsive 3.2-liter 6-cylinder engine producing 210 horsepower, it delivers performance that remains relevant and enjoyable in contemporary driving conditions. Currently presented in excellent condition, the black exterior paint complements the original light grey leather seats, which exhibit a desirable patina indicative of its history. With 132,000 kilometers on the odometer since new, this 1995 Mercedes-Benz G-Class represents a rare opportunity. Finding a first-generation G-Class, particularly one with such provenance and in such remarkably well-preserved condition, is exceptionally uncommon. This vehicle will undoubtedly attract discerning collectors and Mercedes-Benz G-Class aficionados who appreciate its unique blend of history, design, and capability.
It is important to note that this vehicle is sold without a technical inspection, allowing the new owner to undertake this process according to their specific requirements and local regulations.
