... was doing a count here and on Pistonheads/Autotrader and reckons he got to 13 in two years IIRC.
Deffo not a lot around.
Here's the original thread about it, post 33 has the most accurate count that I could manage (there are lots of caveats to the data).https://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/218739-e500-owners-3.html
Also from post 22:
"Since howmanyleft tells me that 154 W212/S212/C207 were sold (see earlier post), my guess then is there were about 130 coupes, 10-20 saloons and 10 or less estates"
I still watch out for W212 and S212 E500 on Autotrader and elsewhere and am now up to 7 saloon and 5 estate.
