This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 250 GD was sourced from the dry climate of
southern France. We purchased the Gel�ndewagen from a private party
in Realville, France. Power is from a naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter
diesel inline-five paired with a five-speed manual transmission, a
two-speed transfer case, and locking front and rear differentials.
The truck is finished in Arkikweiss (Artic White Color Code 147)
over a grey and plaid interior with tasteful graphics on the
rockers. The white body exterior contrasts against black side
moldings, black headlight buckets, and color matched
bumpers.Factory Mercedes nine-spoke 15? wheels are wrapped in
Bridgestone Dueller A/T tires sized 235/75R15, and a steel spare
wheel is mounted on the carrier out back. Braking is handled by
power front discs and rear drums. A four-spoke steering wheel sits
ahead of a 180-km/h speedometer and VDO gauges for fuel level and
coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer has rolled over once
according to the records and now shows approximately 98k
kilometers. The bullet proof naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter OM602
diesel inline-five sends power to the rear or all four wheels
through a five-speed manual transmission and a transfer case along
with individually locking front and rear differentials.The previous
owner outfitted this Mercedes for overlanding adventures but not
permanently modifying the vehicle. All of the camping equipment is
easily removable making this flexible for multiple uses and quick
conversion. You can be sleeping in the roof top tent for a weekend
Adirondack getaway on Saturday then park back in the city on
Monday. When setup for camping adventures you do not sacrifice any
of the passenger seating.Camping gear includes:Bivouac Rooftop
