This Mercedes W124 E500, produced in March 1995, is one of the last units of this iconic model, with only 120 units manufactured during the final year of production. Delivered new in Hanover, it was then exported to Japan, where it was meticulously maintained for about ten years, with a complete maintenance history available. It returned to Europe via the Netherlands and was purchased by an English gentleman, who primarily used it for trips to his second home in France. The current owner acquired it in 2017.

Driving & Condition

Produced between 1990 and 1995, the Mercedes‑Benz 500 E (E500) is a sports sedan born from the collaboration between Mercedes‑Benz and Porsche. It pairs discreet elegance with raw performance. The M119 4,973 cm³ V8 produces 322 horsepower, enabling 0–100 km/h in approximately 5.5 seconds. Hand‑assembled at Porsche in Zuffenhausen, the 500 E features widened fenders, lowered suspension and upgraded brakes for commanding on‑road performance. With Recaro leather seating and a strictly four‑seat cabin, it blends luxury and performance. Limited production and the few units made in 1995 make this example especially desirable to collectors.
