1996 Mercedes G230 STEYR-PUCH Automat

Basic Information & Background

Functional design at its best! No wonder the design of the G-Class was left unchanged for so long. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a car that generates happy looks and comments in all contexts and, likewise, this model has also been used in military use with great success. This is a Steyr-Puch 230 GE that was built in collaboration with the Austrian company for the Swiss Army in 1996 and then underwent a major renovation in 2018-2019. The car was built in both SWB and LWB versions, but what is unique about the LWB is that it was available with an automatic transmission. The Steyr-Puch model was built without any kind of luxury and comfort equipment, but during the renovation this has been upgraded and is a perfect combination of retro feeling but with some modern comforts and design.

The seller has owned the car since 2020 when he imported it and has driven it very sparingly over the years and has always kept it in a warm garage when not in use. The odometer reads 57,000 km but cannot be guaranteed. The car was inspected in 2022/05 without any comments and the last service was in January 2023. The car is currently registered as a truck and also has deductible VAT. As can be seen in the pictures, all the seats remain and can easily be registered as a passenger car.
