In 1984 Mercedes-Benz introduced a revised range of seven medium-sized saloons, all sharing the new W124 body style and with engines ranging from a 2.0-litre four up to a 3.0-litre six. Larger-engined versions were added as the range matured before the W124's ultimate expression - the limited edition 500E - arrived in 1991. First shown at the Paris Salon in 1990, the 500E had been developed with assistance from Porsche, and despite possessing all the luxury accoutrements associated with a range-topping Mercedes-Benz, contrived to be lighter than the 500 SL sports car. Each hand-built example was transported back and forth between the Mercedes-Benz factory and Porsche's plant in Zuffenhausen. It took a full 18 days to complete each one. Powered by the 500 SL's 5.0-litre, 32-valve V8, the 500E delivered shattering performance, reaching 60mph in six seconds and topping out at around 170mph.
Finished in blue/black with mushroom leather interior, this left-hand drive 500E was imported from Germany in 1999 and comes with full history from the time of importation. The car has had three owners in the UK and benefits from considerable expenditure by the vendor. Benefiting from refurbished wheels (in 2019) and Continental tyres all round, this exciting modern Mercedes comes complete with its book pack, service pack, spare key, and all old MoTs.
