1992 Mercedes-Benz G Wagon | Lytham St Anne's, Lancashire

The Mercedes-Benz G Wagon began as a military off-roader and went on sale to civilians in 1979. It is liked for its upright, squared-off body, rear-mounted spare wheel and the solid feel of a separate chassis. This 1992 car is blue with a beige interior, a warm, soft contrast to the hard-edged shape. It has a 3.0-litre petrol engine, seats four and is in excellent condition. Its flat panels and tall glass give a photographer clean lines and a clear view into the cabin. That suits film and TV work set in the 1990s, and fashion and editorial shoots that want an upright, workmanlike backdrop. Advertising and music videos also benefit, because the boxy outline reads at once on screen. For a wedding or a personal hire, it makes a bold change from a saloon. The car is based in Lytham St Anne's, Lancashire.
