Re: pixs of my 1990 280 gel/lpg

That is nice, and in my opinion could be the perfect 460 combination. 280 LWB, 9 seater with LPG. Economy (in monetry terms of a diesel) but with some get up and go. Is it an auto? If yes it is perfect!

Re: pixs of my 1990 280 gel/lpg

yes its an auto and drives like it did when new,better than many 463's i tested for sure.
i was after a 463 and saw a few in my price bracket,but realised a mint 460 was wiser than a well used 463,plus the fact that electronics on the 463 are beyond me.i intend on fitting the koni heavy track raids in the new year and adding 463 side steps for my wife and daughter's benifit plus i need to cover the lpg tanks!
I guess the 460 is more rugged than the 463 but hey,what the heck i own an AMG WHICH MORE THAN MAKES UP THE GAP!!

RE: pixs of my 1990 280 gel/lpg

the above pix show my G with the 80's stripes and non original side steps.i think it looks nicer now without spoiling the age of the vehicle(clear headlamps are a must in my opinion!)And below is my summer vacation G which lives in sunny n-cyprus and my AMG that gives me a BUZZ!!!

RE: pixs of my 1990 280 gel/lpg

I've never seen a cabrio in person but always wanted one. Your's is the nicest picture of one I've seen here. I've always dreamed of having one at a vacation place in the islands. Now I have to buy a vacation place so I can start the search for a cabrio like yours!

hus55 - 12/19/2006 4:50 PM some more pix...

Did you have that G repainted or did you just have the decals (striping) removed?  If you just removed the striping, how did you do it?
