The ultimate 'wolf in sheep's clothing' of the 1990s, the 500E saloon was built to rival the BMW M5 and was created in close cooperation with Porsche. The new stealth saloon offered no visible clues on the outside except for very slightly flared wheel arches, wider tyres, and discreet side skirts. 60mph arrived in just five seconds and 100mph in just over 14 seconds, remarkable for a car with such stately presence. It was only available as a hand-built, four-door saloon in left-hand drive and the low production numbers rendered it an instant classic.With virtually every option box ticked, including the very rare 'badge delete',the car was supplied by Mercedes-Benz Autohaus Oberhausen Mercedes-Benz of Essen, Germany on the 9th June 1992 and serviced by them four times up to 20,212km.
