seems like an awesome car even though it is lhd but ive read on some american mercedes forum that the w124 came in a mega rare version called the E60, never seen one so dunno if it is a myth or real.

It is very much real!

Here is some info, pinched from this thread

They quote the following:-

6litre V8
376bhp@5600rpm
428lb/ft@3750rpm
0-62mph in 5.2 sec
Limited to 155mph but delimited they recon 187mph

Fully loaded a snip at £66k when new.

They were built alongside the E500 by Porsche in very small numbers.

The E60 might be real but that doesn't explain the E50. Why does the badge on this "E50" say E55?

If i'm not mistaken i believe the E60 and E50 were based on the W124 models, and not the W210.

The W210 had the E500 and E55.

As for this particular car, it looks as though this guy is a little optimistic and confused about what he is selling. That'll probably explain why no one has bought this, or the other car he has on ebay at the moment.

I saw a silver LHD E50 P Reg at the weekend. I didn't know they existed but obviously they do

Hi,

I dont think there was any W210 E500. Correct me if im wrong.........

 

[Mambo]

E50 was LHD drive only, we never got it in the UK. We got the E36 and E55 in the W210 shape

 

[Shude]

The W210 E50 was based on the W210 E420

I can see parts for it in the catalogue so I guess it's real...
