The Appeal
When it comes to whisking you across vast distances in effortless comfort, few manufacturers hold a candle to Mercedes-Benz. Their large coupés have long been a standard for everyday luxury and grand-touring perfection. The C207 E-Class derived coupé is little different, offering an opulent environment and potent powertrain – more than enough for four adults to zip across continents with little to no drama.
This E500 is a stellar case in point. Fitted with a barrel-chested but smooth 5.5-litre V8 and all the comforts and gadgets you could possibly need, it is the epitome of a GT car. Four individual seats, smart Designo leather, attractive pearlescent matte white paintwork and low mileage all add to this car’s desirability too. If you’re after a luxurious, powerful grand tourer, then this handsome machine just has to be considered.
