Meet the Merc that’s done 890 000km

by Leisure Wheels

13 October 2014

A man called Gunther Holtorf recently completed a life-long journey in a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

The adventure started 26 years ago after Holtorf quit his job and decided to do something more adventurous with his life.

He then set off and eventually completed an 890 000km round trip, including stops in places like Argentina, Canada, Alaska, Syria and Syria.

The 1988 G-Class is still running with its original engine, but it will now be retired and put on display in a museum.
