There are only a handful of cars that could go into that "hall-of-fame" territory. And it all started in 1979.The Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was one of the significant stake-holders of the Mercedes-Benz and he suggested making a civilian version of the military vehicle G-Wagen. The project started in 1972 and Mercedes-Benz and the Austrian special vehicles manufacturer Steyr worked together for this. In February 1979, the first G-Wagen rolled out the factory. The brick design of the G-Class was easier to manufacture. The door hinges were exposed and the overall vehicle looked like it was built from flat sheets of metal. But that was the idea, to look sturdy and rough. The introduction of the cabriolet version was a good idea for those who wanted to enjoy the open-air feeling, and it was easy to transform the 3-door closed-cabin bodywork into a convertible, since the car featured a body-on-frame construction. You will see there is some rust on the driver rear corner panel and a little on the drop down rear door, there is also a scratch and dent on drop down rear door. Red, £45,900
