The Mercedes-Benz G-Model was developed in corporation the Austrian Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG,
therefore it was built in the Austrian factory in Graz. The W460 was built until 1992, when
replaced by the W461. In 1989 the W463-series was added, at first, to replace the W460, but
then as a additional, more luxury version of the G-Model. The W460/W461 were kept and built
until 2001, because many fans wanted to keep this car, they loved its touch and rugged appearance
and offroad abilities. This specific Mercedes-Benz 230G was converted into a representation-
vehicle for the visit of the pope John Paul II. in Germany in 1980. After the assassination
attemp in 1981, the car was amored and used by the pope for many years.
