Is it genuine?500E and E500 were assembled by Porsche, are wider than a standard W124 with flared arches, and have a build plate in the engine bay. A 320E with an AMG bodykit is not a 500E.
These are the known weak points of this generation, the same questions for every W124 on the site. The seller answered them. Nothing here is verified by us — use it to decide what to inspect, not as a guarantee.

Vehicle description according to seller

This Mercedes-Benz 500 E is presented in the exceptionally rare colour combination of Nautical Blue with a grey checked cloth interior. More precisely, the cabin features a combination of cloth and partial leather upholstery.

The original purchase invoice from the Mercedes-Benz dealership in Bern, Switzerland, dated 1991, shows a new-car purchase price of CHF 117,500.

During its time with its first Swiss owner, the 500 E was consistently maintained by Mercedes-Benz in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule. A substantial history file accompanies the car, containing numerous invoices and supporting documents.

In 2012, the first owner sold the vehicle to Germany, where it was acquired by our customer, a collector specialising in the restoration of Mercedes-Benz SL Pagoda models.

Today, the car presents in excellent overall condition and is exceptional to drive.

The chassis of the 500 E is particularly impressive and gives the car a character quite unlike any other W124. The combination of its suspension setup, wider track and performance-focused engineering creates a noticeably more composed and dynamic driving experience.

Its engine also offers considerably more than simply additional power compared with the 400 E. Thanks to its distinctive tuning and character, the 500 E feels significantly more responsive and energetic on the road.

For anyone searching for a Mercedes-Benz 500 E with outstanding provenance, exceptional maintenance history and an extremely rare yet tasteful colour combination, this example represents a particularly compelling opportunity.

The colour combination alone would make almost any W124 stand out. For an enthusiast who recognises the subtle details that distinguish a genuine 500 E, however, this car becomes something even more special.

Should this rare example be of interest, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

The vehicle may be inspected in our showroom by prior appointment. We are also happy to answer any additional questions regarding the car, its history or condition.
