This outstanding, top-tier, big engined Mercedes-Benz is a unique vehicle, to which the opportunity to acquire it in a very unrepeatable specification combination would be hard to find. Equipped with every comfort that you expect from a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, this performance saloon W211 wants for nothing and is ready for immediate use.
This example has had two previous owners. The first having owned it for 5 years, covering just 23K miles, and the second owning it for 14 years, and covering 80K miles. At 5 years old, the E500 passed hands via Mercedes-Benz of Bedford, where it went to a true automotive petrol head and enthusiast, and was amongst a collection of other desirable vehicles. The last owner took incredible care and attention to detail, over 14 years, to ensure the vehicle stayed in as best condition as possible.
The protection the last owner took to maintain the condition of the car is outrightly commendable, and is shown in its condition today. The car was fully cared for, but also correctly used, ensuring any minor fault was rectified quickly, mechanical sympathy was adhered to and it was used regularly. Every touch point on the vehicle is as-new, or best it possibly can be for a near 20 year old vehicle.
For example;
There are no key scratch marks at the lock of the glove box.
The boot is in immaculate condition
No disappointment or detrimental points can be raised from the driving experience of this particular example. It starts, idles and engages from P to R, N and D correctly. It warms up with no issues and pulls away as standard. No slouch on power from the 5L M113 V8.
The 7-Speed gearbox is faultless, and is manually changeable using the gear stick. These cars are best as long distance cruises, but are still fully capable of showing their performance in short blips, making every journey thoroughly enjoyable.
For a real Mercedes-Benz or V8 enthusiast, this is a hidden gem that will put a huge smile on your face, whilst comfortably getting you to your destination, doing so in a subtle, non dramatised manor.

Whilst the car is in above average condition, a testimony to the previous owner to attend to small marks/ scrapes, there is a tiny scattering of minor age related chips and scuffs around the car, which is to be expected from a 20 year old vehicle and 103, 000 miles. Prospective buyers should be aware that it is not brand new and viewing is recommended to satisfy one's expectations.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.
