FOR SALE 1991 500E, Pearl Black/Black, TMU, CC auction (Dubai, United Arab Emirates)

[gsxr]

No affiliation. Originally delivered to Norway. Early production, March 1991, engine #589 (what a tool!).

No airbag, may not have SRS, the horn pad is AMG embossed. Full facelift front & rear, however the hood is missing ALL of the rubber/foam seals across the front. Headlights may be correct 036 lamps, but have wrong-hand-traffic (LHT) lenses.

Edit: The car is missing both ASR indicators, and has Exh Temp light, meaning this car went from Norway --> Japan --> UAE, and at some point had the speedometer replaced. The 97kkm odometer reading is likely fictitious, or at best TMU unless there's a documentation trail from day 1, which is unlikely. Thread title updated to reflect TMU instead of 97kkm / 60kmi.

How does THIS happen?

Hmmmm... AMG cluster, Carlson wheels, faded wood everywhere including where it should not be ... lemme guess, a bone stock 500E facelifted to look like ... what exactly??

maw

Yeah, nothing in those photos looks like it only has 100kkm / 60kmi.

Also... the instrument clustser housing is not original. It's missing the ASR fault indiactor, and the ASR warning triangle in the speedometer. At best this is TMU. Also, the EXH TEMP indicator means the car spent time in Japan in between Norway and UAE.

How does THIS happen?

Had me wondering as well. The damage to the lower control arms as well as the aftermarket muffler could indicate backing over something immovable.

A little "General Lee" action there....

This thing looks like a total basket case that was given a really bad repaint to shine it up for a sale. Good luck to the dude or dudette who ends up with this thing

What the....!!!

Did someone take that car off-roading?

I know this car - it is a complete disaster. It is only a candidate for parts or FULL restoration.

That's insane. I wonder if the sale will consummate.
