i knew I had seen this car before, and now I have found it!
Mercedes Benz E500 Estate (W211) aka 'Thirsty Merc' - Page 1 - Readers' Cars - PistonHeads
I think it looks good, certainly well spec'd and very well looked after. The price may be high, but when seeing what S212 E500s go for this seems like a good deal given that it has the same engine and is only 3 years older. I suppose this is well within the date range for the timing gear issue though - not sure whether that can still be an issue by the time an engine reaches this age and mileage?
