The Heuliez Intruder is a one-off concept car built by the French coachbuilder Heuliez and shown at the 1996 Paris Motor Show. Heuliez designed an all-new body to sit on the platform of a Mercedes-Benz G320 G-Wagen, producing a high-riding off-road cabriolet with a bespoke folding metal roof, an interior mixing borrowed G-Wagen parts with other components, and bright blue seats for two. The G-Wagen engine, four-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel drive and locking differentials were carried over, so the car stayed a working off-road vehicle. It appeared a few months after Mercedes introduced the SLK and never entered production. The single car was later restored and offered for sale in England.
