I think it remains to be seen if this is indeed "one of the best, if not THE best for sale rrcently"?For those of you who may struggle to find the video:
This example was owned by a well known UK collector called Danz Benz, this was his only 500E and will be for sale at the Hairpin Company (very prestigious dealer) over here. It's a ~60k km car as Harry mentions in video, so definitely a split minter.
They don't come about here often, but certainly one of the best, if not THE best 500E for sale as of recent. The video is also brilliant and worth a watch (despite the fact that Harry does get quite a few things wrong during his drive)...
Do you know the seller? It seems he is shifting a lot of cars - as you mentioned the Iconic auction last weekend and this 500E. I guessed the dark coloured one was also his but from what you say it isn't.For those of you who may struggle to find the video:

Yeah as mentioned above, the seller is Danz Benz (Danny Lucas) that’s his ‘alias’ and he had a private ‘museum’ collection called the stuttgart collection, somewhere in Kent.Do you know the seller? It seems he is shifting a lot of cars - as you mentioned the Iconic auction last weekend and this 500E. I guessed the dark coloured one was also his but from what you say it isn't.
He auctioned an ex-Moss R129 which hit £28K but the reserve was £40K.
The Iconic auction descriptions mentioned The Stuttgart Collection not a private collection unless that is what he calls himself.
Yes, I know of him his base is near Sevenoaks which isn't far from me.Yeah as mentioned above, the seller is Danz Benz (Danny Lucas) that’s his ‘alias’ and he had a private ‘museum’ collection called the stuttgart collection, somewhere in Kent.
The black one does not belong to him from what I know, that’s just another one soon coming up at Hairpin so they also gave Harry that one to present.
If you watch the Late brake show video I linked, you’ll notice a lot of the cars from iconic, and the 500E in Harry’s video.
The video is a walk around of majority of the cars in the Stuttgart collection.
He slowly sold dribs and drabs of his collection about a year ago through dealers like Edward hall, but it seems like he’s sold the remainder of his cars through iconic and hairpin.
This is another car altogether. The funny thing is after reading the blurb I’ve realised this is a car I nearly purchased but lost the opportunity when it was advertised for c £30k at Sytner Nottingham in April 2017. Unfortunately I was too late and another buyer beat me to it - simply could not get to Nottingham from London and it sold by the end of that morning. I was gutted.An E500 has now appeared on the Hairpin Company website - but it is not the one featured here! It's a Limited, similar mileage (60k), with what appears to be similar history, and is priced at £90k. Strange coincidence?

Think this has sold there before, remember seeing it in April 2023 (I don't remember the number plate but it was definitely an L reg) at hairpin for £65k at the time if I remember correctly.An E500 has now appeared on the Hairpin Company website - but it is not the one featured here!

Not entirely sure! Who knows.. Only time'll tell..So will we see the Harry's Garage car appear somewhere sometime soon? Or maybe its been sold privately.
Rare Mercedes-Benz E500 Limited for saleThink this has sold there before, remember seeing it in April 2023 (I don't remember the number plate but it was definitely an L reg) at hairpin for £65k at the time if I remember correctly.
Fairly certain it's the same car as Hairpin do seem to repeat sales and car rings a bell.. But don't quote me on that.![]()
Now I'm confused. Harry's Garage's youtube car is certainly a completely different 036. So far I'm with you. About the car in your picture in the quote above (with the non-original wheels): are you saying this is the car Sytner Nottingham had sold in April 2017 for plm £ 30K? The advert text for the Hairpin Company states (in 2023 and in 2024) that their car (with registration plate L753NMJ) was also sold in 2017 by Sytner. Are you saying that Sytner was selling 2 different silver 036's in 2017? Or are you suggesting that these 2 cars are in fact the very same Ltd?This is another car altogether.

Same car IMO - which means the Hairpin car used to wear Brabus rims in 2017. Either that, or Sytner had two E500 Limiteds in 2017, very thin chance of that happening but I suppose it’s not impossible. A HPI check could be performed to clear this up as the plate number of the car I was due to buy, was K1KRS in 2017.Now I'm confused.

If someone (in the UK?) could do that, that would be great (just for future reference for when this car turns up later). Unless you have kept some more pics at the time, particularly of the interior of the car you were looking at. Also, do you remember the mileage back then? If these cars were the very same, that means that a £ 30K car (sold in 2017 with a mileage of 94,374 km) would have appreciated in value to £ 90K now (having a reported mileage of around 100K km)A HPI check could be performed to clear this up as the plate number of the car I was due to buy, was K1KRS in 2017.
Unfortunately I only have that one photo taken by a friend of mine. Anyone can do the check, for example via car vertical or any of the UK HPI checks. If I had a subscription I’d do that, but saving pennies for 036 NLA parts to keep my own E500 Limited goingIf someone (in the UK?) could do that, that would be great (just for future reference for when this car turns up later).

The Hideous Station Wagon from National Lampoon’s Vacation Could Be Yours (Sort of)
Few Hollywood cars are more iconic of the classic American family road trip than the clunky green station wagon from National Lampoon’s Vacation. The ugly, uncomfortable, gas-guzzling monstrosity was everything a family road-trippin’ vehicle should be. Now, that automotive gem could be yours —...www.themanual.com
