AMG SEC500 widebody For Sale (1984) on Car And Classic UK
Very poor advert but potentially a nice car. Claims it had a full restoration 1 year ago but no info on what work was done.
I never understood why people only write 3 lines and not even saying much in the brief description:confused:
I saw a W124 with a W126 bonnet fitted, I thought it looked quite good but still a little odd... maybe a grower? not sure.
I hunted for a picture on-line but could only find this:-
Though I think this is a W201
What do these letters stand for, &/or represent??
So far I have learned that "E" is "Einspritzung" which is German for Injection,
But why does it appear as E200 & 200E??
Is there a Legend which decodes all the letters used by Mercedes?? this would be very helpful!

Hi, ive come across from Benzworld as i havent been able to get much help from them. I have a 1989 500SEC which died on sunday night after i fired it up and switched it over to LPG, called out the RAC and the man said the coil was not 'switching' and that it could be the coil or the ignition...
On starting, the car fired up but refused to 'catch' - almost like fuel starvation. After about 5 minutes I tried again and all was ok. Drove to my destination no problem - the car has just passed the MoT in May with flying colours.
After an hour or so I returned to the car to head home. Same...

Hello People,
thought I'd introduce myself and my sec. First registered in Feb 1985, bought her approx ten years ago, and I've just started rebuilding the engine(busted piston ring on cylinder number six).
No doubt, I'll be calling on the knowledge of quite a few people on here once I get...
Hi Folks,
See ollieplimsoles post entitled 'What have I done or not done' for the background on this. :)
Car cut out to day. Lifted bonnet and twiddled the relays in my fusebox again - result - no problem car starts - away I go.
Car is still going but this may become a habit I fear...
