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 1993, for model year 1994 it was face-lifted along with the rest of the range and renamed to 'E 500'.
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.

We are a unique independent dealer of Mercedes Benz conveniently located in the midlands.
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.
The car was imported in 2001 and has had three owners. The first owner from 2001-2004. From 2004-2017 the car was with an Irish collector who bought the car as an investment.
It was used every few months to keep everything operational. In his ownership, as a garage owner, the car was regularly serviced. The engine wiring loom was recently changed for a genuine Mercedes part.
We purchased the car in 2017 and is registered in our name.
Unfortunately we have very little paperwork for the car apart from a V5.
Therefore the mileage cannot be guaranteed. However looking around the car, the condition does backup the odometer reading.
For example the instrument needles are still the orange factory colour, not faded yellow. The engine bay still exhibits the factory wax coating to ancillary components.
The interior shows very little wear.
The engine is super smooth with a rock steady idle.
The engine wiring harness has been replaced recently with a genuine Mercedes part – a common problem across 90’s Mercedes.
Everything electrical, including the A/ C is working.
The car comes fully serviced from us. We replace Oil Filer, Oil, Air Filters, Fuel Filter, Spark Plugs, Front Brake Discs & Pads and more…
All of my vehicles are HPI clear and come with certificate.
We have been made aware that this car was subject to an attempted theft around 2004. From information we have, the car was not actually stolen but damage was done to the locks and rear seats. The rear seats were professionally retimed and the affected locks were replaced. This is not recorded damage and the HPI shows the car to be clear. I only mention this information as I was told and I want to be honest.
Delivery can be arranged anywhere in the UK.
