I've been trying to discover how many Estates made it to the UK for a while now. Despite being out of production for 15 years Mercedes still deem this info commercially sensitive - I've asked via private lounge & a PR contact and no luck.
However what I do know, is it appears the total of saloons and estates was 639 based on press releases found elsewhere. howmanyleft etc does not split by bodystyle unfortunately, but aligns to roughly this. I reckon at a rough guess its about 75 estates, but hard to say.
Getting to the point, in this thread there are 13 different S211's owned by members. Based on reg's I've seen on auction sites, in person, on facebook, instagram etc I've got another 21 what I believe to be unique cars. I've had to do some serious stalking of Facebook, my confused.com quote history and MOT checkers to find all these, should have written them down at the time!
So as it stands, we have at least 34.
I've only taken info from the public domain, but I'm aware people may not want it compiled in this way, so I won't share the spreadsheet in its current form.
Here is an extract with reg's removed, if you want to add any info on your current car that I'm missing either publicly or by PM, please do! The number of different silvers always confuses me..... And the notes section is to help me more than anything, don't think into it too much if your car is blank!
Maybe once I've tidied it up, we can fill in some more blanks from the "ebay section" not shown. I can visualize quite a few past ebay ads in my head, but most seem to be lost now so the info is gone. Distinctive ones I can add by feature/colour such as the Linarite blue one (which must be like 1 of 1?) but if I just start listing "silver E55" I'll be guaranteed to inadvertently duplicate cars.....
