Ex-Jay Kay, a very rare, top-of-the-range V8 diesel with 250 BHP.

Top of the range G400 CDi V8 SWB Ex-petrolhead and musician Jay Kay One of only 828 produced, all in left-hand drive £8,500 engine overhaul at 'G-Wagen' in Reading only 3,000 miles ago Revered and reviled in equal measure, the G-Wagen is one of those vehicles that seem to polarise opinions.

Ugly and boxy to some, it is the most capable and best-engineered 4x4 of all time to others.
