This 1987 Mercedes-Benz (W460) is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.4-litre ‘OM616’ diesel inline-four producing around 71bhp, with a four-speed manual transmission and the 240GD was originally delivered to the Singapore Army, before being imported into the UK and registered with the DVLA in April 2022. It is finished in green with black trim accents, over a dark green vinyl-trimmed interior and has the sort of old school appeal that is going to resonate with collectors.

Impressive both from an aesthetic and performance perspective, this 1987 Mercedes-Benz from Collecting Cars rides on a set of 16-inch steel wheels, finished in gloss black, and shod with Michelin 4×4 O/R tyres. The factory specification includes a locking rear differential, protective headlight grilles, front towing couplings, a trailer hitch hook, a two-bar steering wheel, folding rear seats, a tailgate-mounted spare wheel, front and rear seat belts, and rear load bay storage.
