Hello to all forum members
I am Dimitrios from Athens Greece.
I have an 1996 GD290 LWB (N/A 5speed manual)almost fully stock with the only modifications :
1)Military 7:37 r&p front/rear
2)BF M/T 255/85/16 tyres
I will buy a GD240 (ex military) also real soon.
Cheers Dimitrios

Greetings. Sounds like a nice G. And don't mind the banter on here - it's all very tongue in cheek.
unless you are using beads at the time Lol :roll:

Hello and welcome Dimitrios... fancy a visit to the ELBO factory? Here it is!
welcome dimitri !!
look forward to seeing the pics too !
welcome and a very interesting post. So a large number of ex Greek Army g-wagens will be on sale soon? Is the rear suspension on the pick up the same as a lwb or is it modified and can you tell us of the likely price, I really like these things and would like to buy one.

Hi Paul,
Sadly the pick-ups are not in drive and go condition (missing parts mainly).
They have the 5 cylinder diesel engine some with turbo and some with auto gearbox too.
Yes a lot of them are already available for sale (they start from the worst ones).240GD w/o engine and trans (altough you can get them from the same places for an additional cost) starting at 2500EUR and up.BUT consider that they need a lot of work to be completed.No rust and no accidents in a whoping 90% of the vehicles.I will take some pictures but weather here is really bad the last few days.
Rgds,
Jim
Might be easier to ship without engine and transmission then source the ones you want over here anyways???? Could always try and find a nice 560 to go in it....
Here is two pics.Not the best pic at all.I will try to take more tomorrow.
Now one question: was you G assembled at ELBO or made at Graz?
This is an Graz assembled...

Hi Dimitrios,
welcome in the best Gsite. I have an almost identical car (ex-border police), 290 turbo diesel, auto.
The army and police car all were built in Greece (ELBO).
My best regards
