500E

Nice car! Few observations:
- Standard W124 headlights - not 500E Hella's
- Front end been facelifted to an E500 (headlights, bonnet & grill) with the rear end still prefacelift
- Aftermarket exhaust backbox
Does look very original though, stunning car. I hope the interior is as nice. This is the second or third time this one has been on eBay though in the last year or two. I'd pay close attention to the MOT, in October 2013 at 115,586km's it reported the following advisories, only less than 1,000 km of what its showing on the clock now, most recent MOT shows none so I'd hope they've been sorted:
26 October 2013
Expiry date 23 November 2014
Test Result Pass
Odometer reading 115,586 kms
MOT test number 1683 6989 3298
Advisory notice item(s)
Front exhaust system outer heat shield/casing corroded.
Rear flexi ferrules slightly corroded.
Chip to windscreen, less than 10mm across.
Oil leak.
Auto gearbox oil leak.
Minor rear diff oil leak.
Front undertray fitted.
Airbag light taped over.
Headlamp euro to uk beam adjusters fitted.
Both headlamps - aim on upper limits.
All brake discs slightly pitted.
Rear suspension pipes have surface corrosion.
Most of them are minor, bar the leaks and even if not sorted could be fixed relatively easily, depending on the severity.
Cheers,
Bill
