Mercedes-Benz took a hiatus from officially selling the iconic G-Wagen from 2004 to 2010, and at the time a G 55 wasn’t built in RHD by the factory, but converted by AMG after completion. Although a right hand drive G 55 was seemingly off the menu for the vast majority of paying customers for a six year period, this didn’t mean that both Mercedes-Benz and AMG wouldn’t bend the rules for a VIP client.

And such is the case with this very car. This G 55 AMG is said to be one of four prototypes G 55s converted to RHD, paving the way for factory-built RHD cars in the years to follow. Built especially a significant member of the royal family of Dubai in a fantastic, one-off specification, it is presented today in virtually as-new condition, showing just 143 miles from new.

Perhaps the car’s most striking feature is its distinctive paintwork: Godolphin Blue. Standing out from the typical G-Wagen colours of black, silver, or white, this bespoke shade—reserved exclusively for use by Dubai royalty—was selected to match to the blue silks worn by the renowned Team Godolphin—the world’s largest horse racing outfit named in honour of the Godolphin Arabian, one of three stallions that founded the modern thoroughbred. The exterior is capped off by a stainless-steel spare wheel cover, 18-inch AMG Sport wheels, and high-grade steel lower body protection.

The theme carries through to the inside and the car is trimmed in Mystic Blue designo leather, which beautifully contrasts the exterior colour. This is offset by blue stitching, poplar wood trim, and velour floor mats embroidered with Mystic Blue “///AMG” logos. The impressive list of equipment includes heated, multi-contoured seats, an electric sunroof, Siemens mobile phone, TV tuner, and ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper.

Retained by the original owner until 2024, the car is offered with just 143 miles on the odometer. Although the car was last serviced in the car of its original owner in September 2024, it is recommended that the car be fully inspected by an authorized Mercedes-Benz main dealer or reputable specialist prior to regular use on the road.

This represents a truly remarkable opportunity to purchase an as-new twenty-year old G-Wagen, one with royal provenance and prototype history, and as such it would surely stand out from the crowd wherever it goes.
