4x4abc Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: La Paz, Baja California, Mexico Vehicle(s): 02 G500 | Re: RHD numbers Certaily Peter: according to Stuttgart, about 10% of all 460 produced were RHD. How many 460 were produced? Dunno. Maybe someone with the latest G book can help - it has all the numbers in detail. To repeat what we had found out before: All 460 convertibles, production 1979 to 1991: 460.210 230G 3.894 460.212 280GE 5.000 460.216 200GE 64 (Italy only, 200 engine for tax reasons) 460.218 230GE 2.241 460.310 240GD 5.797 460.312 300GD 10.542 460.317 250GD 95 All460 RHD convertibles.

How many 460 were produced? Dunno. Maybe someone with the latest G book can help - it has all the numbers in detail. According to The Legend Keeps on Driving a total of 69,983 460 GWagens were made (many of them military types). That makes some 7,000 RHD 460 GWagens, of which a good half (3,500 units) of it could have been sold as civilian types in the UK alone.

Boy G Expert Date registered: Feb 2007 Location: Bushveld, South Africa Vehicle(s): Diesel G's: 617A and 602 Posts: 1683 | Re: RHD numbers Just for interest here is a story you may enjoy. I have had a string of 460 RHD's - and really wanted a 460 / 461 5 door obviously also RHD. RHD 5 doors are scarce in SA. Looked for a long time and couldn't find one so I bought a slightly butchered 460 LHD (Toyota engine) 5 door two years ago and started re building it. I have nearly finished it now - did a very extensive / expensive total rebuild and converted it to RHD and 300GDT. This was a surprisingly uncomplicated job. Some trouble on the chassis and front axle requires your to sweat a bit but dash, handbrake footpedals etc was easy. I have not put in the wiring harness yet and the more I procrastinate the more this job frightens me! So Stuttgart - its almost 7001 RHD's in your impressive arsenal. Incidentally late last year a 2001 461 290 turbodiesel, full service history, low km RHD dream car came onto the market and I got it! Man it is fun! I suppose the argument starts with my wife about who gets the auto box. | ||

Boy G Expert Date registered: Feb 2007 Location: Bushveld, South Africa Vehicle(s): Diesel G's: 617A and 602 Posts: 1683 | Re: RHD numbers Just seen on the above list from Harald - here is a picture of one of the 27 RHD 460 310 convertibles from 1982. It was a 240D and I replaced it with a 300D about two years back. It has low speed diffs (5.33:1) and in tandem with the 300 motor and 235 85 16 BFG MT's it is unstoppable. In the brown hat is the unstoppable Amzimmy with Bier on his left. Edited by Boy G 3/21/2007 2:01 PM (P2090047.JPG) Attachments ---------------- P2090047.JPG (149KB - 4 downloads) | ||
