I bought the world’s cheapest running and driving(ish) Mercedes G-Wagon, a G280 with an incredible history: it served with the German border guard and a volunteer fire brigade, was driven through Russia and South America, rolled on the Bolivia–Peru border and rebuilt by a Bolivian bus driver, then left abandoned in Las Vegas in 2019. With help from Chris and Patrick at Sin City BMW, we try to bring this classic G-Wagon back to life in the Nevada heat, tackling perished fuel lines, a seized fuel pump, stale fuel, snapped bolts and filthy diff oil, plus a tour of their one-off BMW 2002 builds. Can this tired old G-Wagon run, drive and stop well enough to survive the 1,800-mile road trip from Las Vegas to Houston, Texas?
