W124 500E / E500
Discussion
There's a great deal of love for these on this forum, but they're often in the hands of owners who won't let go.
Why not cast your net a little wider and have a look at mobile.de. After all, they're all left hand drive.
Charles Ironside or Avantegarde will no doubt have one, or know of one for sale.

I've been dreaming about the Portuguese dealer's car for a few weeks. It looks to be in wonderful original condition. Original Becker radio, no silly wheels or square exhaust tips. At 166km it clearly wasn't a garage queen either, so must have been extremely well cared for. Perhaps a bit too good for something to use everyday though?
Given these cars were all LHD, the premium for a UK car is harder to justify. Bramley had a low miles UK car recently, but it was silly money. I agree with R129. Mobile.de is where I get my kicks.

You can also obtain these cars in japan through importers , a site www.left-hand-drive.com in London have 45k car for £18K - its white though.
Cheers. I've got in touch with Ironside so I'll see if that brings up anything. Don't mind paying more if it means getting the right motor.
Ideally looking to get one in black as they look so good.
Saw a silver one today but it was so-so - project car I'd say, had a replacement boot (black on the inside) and bonnet (poor fittings and grill), surface rust coming up on one front wing and one rear wing, one key, no history or paperwork only a few receipts and MOT, couldn't get the oil cap open which shows you when it's been last changed, suspension at the rear gave a knock etc etc. Nice set of AMG alloys but cheapo tyres. Could be a nice motor with a couple grand thrown at it...hmmmm

The boot is black on the inside from the factory. Galinite Grey, actually.Ideally looking to get one in black as they look so good.

And check the price of front wings on these cars if buying a project. I seem to recall they're £500 each.
There is an alternative, an E400/420E was offered in certain markets from about 90-91 onwards. Yes it won't have the kudos of the E500 but it's nearly as rare(never seen one in the UK) came in standard and sportline options and would be very anonymous so a great Q car. Currently a good choice in Germany at various budgets. Mercedes Benz had an occassional E500 forsale via the Museum but they seem to have stopped, the final production run had some quite lurid interior colours!
Cheers Bob - the 400E doesn't do it for me, it has to be the 500E! The 400E is exactly the 300E bodyshell with no mods at all, just the 4.2L V8 M119 shoehorned it.
The 500E has the Porsche engineering pedigree and the body has been widened and lengthened for the larger engine and transmission tunnel - and those wide front arches, looks so mean!

There's a lovely "E60" W124 on carandclassic for around £25k. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C476991
Maybe next year I can afford to start looking for one. Dubdizzle is worth a look too (cars in UAE) and there are a couple of companies than offer import services from there.
