RHD CDI G's

My understanding is that the last RHD diesel made is the G300 and only the naturally aspirated one at that.

Max,

May I remind you that a handful of G290 GDT were made, both Puch and Mercedes badged, of which at least three turned up in our latest AGM in Banbury?

A few pics of these:

Hi Mortinson, does the PUCH/STYLER badge on the front grill look like that originally? Or the color fell off for some reasons? And do you know where to get those PUCH/STLYER stickers that can be seen around the rear gate door of the white PUCH G?
Thanks.

Tomo,

All W461 Puchs imported into the UK (the only market other than the "traditional" Puch markets for W461 G-Wagens) between 1997 and 2001 had those badges which are B/W with no colour on them. I believe that this was not a feature exclusive to RHD Puchs but to all W461 Puchs of those years.
