W124 500E / E500
Discussion
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

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!
