I also noticed that it has a one piece door. | ||

I have not noticed that the car is armored until i saw the doors open. The guy also owns also an armored G500 and it also looks like a normal truck, only visible thing is a more robust windshield.

Does anyone know the part number on those chrome hooks/loops/handles on the side of the G? Does it come in black? I have been looking for one for my right rear door. I have the double doors and cannot stand leaving fingerprints on the door. I am use to pushing rathar than using the lever on the inside to close that side. I thought by having a hook/loop/handle would help solve the issue. The closest thing I could find was an H2 rear bumper tow loop. | ||

My team and I are very appreciative of our two civilian Armored Gwagen here in Iraq. I look forward to returning back to the United States to be with my family and then riding in my Gwagens and especially I miss driving my Gwagen Cabrio. Here are photos of my Mercedes Gwagen Cabrio with fellow soldier Marco Benz the Great Great Grandson of Karl Benz.
