Mercedes W124 500E Saloon Automatic
About the W124 500E
From 1990 to 1994 (model years 1991–1994), Mercedes-Benz sold a high-performance version of the W124, the Mercedes-Benz 500 E. The 500 E was created in close cooperation with Porsche; each 500 E was hand-built by Porsche, being transported back and forth between the Mercedes plant and Porsche's Rossle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany during assembly — taking a full 18 days to complete each model. Design began in 1989 and into 1991. Called '500 E' through model year.
Specifications and General Information
The 500 E had a naturally aspirated 5. 0L V8 engine derived from the 500 SL (R129) roadster. Sports car braking performance also came from SL components: front SL 500 300 mm disks with 4-piston calipers came installed on the 1992 and early 1993 cars. Rear brakes on all years were 278 mm brakes from the 500 SL.
The 500 E was only with four seats in left hand drive, with the four leather seats supplied by Recaro (the fronts heated).
Called the "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" by the press, performance tests of the day yielded impressive results: 0–100 km/ h (0–62 mph) times of 5. 5 to 6. 0 seconds and acceleration through the quarter-mile (0. 4 km) in 14. 1 seconds at 163 km/ h (101 mph). The top speed was redline limited at 6, 000 rpm to 260 km/ h (~160 mph).
With its aggressive stance: 1. 5 inches wider track, 0. 9 inch lower profile, flared fenders, side skirts, front air-dam and wide tires, the 500 E is easily distinguished from its lesser brethren. Because of its look, limited numbers, hand-built construction, and unique pedigree, the 500 E is already considered a "classic", even within Mercedes-Benz.

This is a superb car in excellent condition throughout.
This car is a true testament to Mercedes Build Quality in the early 90’s. This car feels just as tight and powerful as the day it left the factory.
I bought this car form a good friend of mine and fellow 500E fanatic in 2019 from Dubai.
This car was fully repainted to a fantastic standard to 040 black some point prior to my ownership. The only area not repainted is within the engine bay area, however this is not noticeable as the colour is not dissimilar to original.
I have many pictures from ownership in Dubai where it was pampered and kept in an underground storage facility.
I have kept the car garaged in my ownership.
All common 500E issues have been dealt with.
Everything electrical, including the A/ C is working.
The Exhaust Temp & ASR Light sometimes come on but then go off again.
Delivery can be arranged anywhere in the UK.
