Yes Luky - sharp eye - that's the one! You're obviously passing by the Bratislava dealership on a day to day basis - raicar.

Re: Tschiewagon: G 280 Professional roll out to styrian firefighters

At this facility they still don´t have the most interesting cars. A few streets away is something like a special construction branch, which looks like from the Baghdad green zone(3 m tall fence with barbed wire on the top and concrete bariers all around) and there they have for example several brand new mil-spec G280CDIs 9-seaters in matt green from some canceled military contract. Or the branch in Banska Bystrica has a G270CDI DoKa(currently for sale).

Wow. Very nice color on the G! Strikingly handsome and commands a presence of it's own. Wheels and tires look aftermarket. Anyhow, thanks for sharing.

Those wheels are optional Professional alloys(also basic wheels on euro W463s or armored Guards), only the holes look like filled with some inserts.

RE: Tschiewagon: G 280 Professional roll out to styrian firefighters

Here is another example of a "signal-red" coloured G, which I found by happening in Switzerland, while on a shoppingtour for an old Mercedes. This G has been customized at the AMG factory in Affalterbach and received his RAL 3000 (firefighters once again) paintjob by special order of the owner. In addition nearly all visible signs of a G 55 Kompressor have been removed.

One guy in Prague has a very similar G55K(I think it is the first G55K sold in Czech republic). It is also fully de-chromed like this Swiss, but it is painted in matt green. Maybe I have some pictures in some older computer.

Thanks! USed to hate that colour because the bumpers painted with it start to fade after only a couple of years, but never seen one with that extensive treatment. Also most of the bumper/foglight parts come from the factory in that colour, so it is easier if you have to replace it in the future. Your friend has great taste in cars.

RE: Tschiewagon: G 280 Professional roll out to styrian firefighters

You were right - 7167 would have been the correct MB colour code for "tiefdunkelgrau"!

Re: Tschiewagon: G 280 Professional roll out to styrian firefighters

Wow Raiko, awesome stuff!!

Any pics of the dark green W461 with lift/larger tires in front of the Signal Red W461 in the gravel lot?

Also, anyone know if W461's have anti-theft immobilizer's or I'm assuming a chip in the ignition key which talks to instrument cluster and ECU? I ask because I'm wondering if there is no such componentry, then perhaps a W461 cluster could be installed in a W460...hehe!

RE: Tschiewagon: G 280 Professional roll out to styrian firefighters

Hi Jeremy,

open paint - take a picture of the green G (search for biiiggg tires) and put everything together in front of the picture of the red G55. Ready is the combo of your dreams. The gravel lot is up to your imagination as well - sogni d'oro - hehehe!
