No affiliation, but this W463 is very nice because he has the armouring B6:

no use for us mere mortals... just extra weight for no good reason.

There were two versions- those used by Turkish diplomats were fully armoured except the trunk but those used by I think Belgian (or maybe Dutch?) police had only an armoured windscreen and this wall behind the rear seats

Sure, but this one is armored all the way around. It has to be just awful to drive. Quite though, I guess.

I owned once one of those turkish armoured G's. I only drove it once and have also some 460's. So if I compare it with a 460 then it drives well. If you compare it with a g500 then we are 2 worlds apart. I sold it after a year. A guy wanted to ship it to cuba and wanted to put a modern mercedes diesel in it. He left a deposit and never picked it up. 6 months later an other guy bought it and wanted to ship it to Africa. I know that it is still in Canada. it is the blue one that comes from time to time on ebay and Kijiji.
I will never buy one again. Customers you don't want to deal with.

I know I've mentioned it before, but I'll say it again, if someone plans to buy one, check local laws and regs, our goobermint had a brilliant idea to slow gangs (typical knee jerk reaction, ban something, never works but gets the media buzz) and that was to ban armored vehicles:

Why not encourage gang members to buy these armored trucks.. would make them much easier to catch when they do 0-60 in two minutes and are getting 6 mpg.
