Yeah, the price seemed way too low. Either it's a typo, or a scam.

There were none made by Mercedes, but a handful of conversions exist. It requires either stuffing the M119 into a 124.09x wagon chassis (which is the smarterer way to do it), or chopping up a genuine 036 and splicing on the cargo area from a donor S124 (much higher risk of something going wrong with welding the sheet metal).

No idea how this particular car was done. No photos under the hood either.

That single exhaust pipe is hilariously out of place

...or it is the best single 'must have' component to stay under radar on a custom 5.0 wagon.

 

[Berglund]

Think this car was in a ”Spanish sale” few years ago…… recognise the photos….

Absolutely love this… I’d pay €15k all day long but I too think that this is a typo / mistake. Too good to be true.

 

[357Magnum]

Look at this. Now its €66K

To good to be true

greetz

 

[benzboss]

Yeah, it’s true what they say, if it’s too good to be true. It probably / definitely is

The car is NOT listed at the official online shop of the company.

Also looked up for it here - Mercedes Oldtimer Bethke – Reparatur, Service, Restauration, Sattlerarbeiten und so weiter für Mercedes Oldtimer

E500T conversion by Bethke - Instagram post dated 2021 (see below)

..and then, they already referred to this particular 'Limited' as "..our E500 Estate 'WAS' so beautiful.." -

So I guess somebody else (Jurgen Trose, as in the pic from mobile-de?) must own it currently, and/or they might be trying to sell it on consignment (as certainly not shown on the website above at this moment)

If this is s a legit sale and not some scammer then I think this is a downright reasonable price for such a unique car, provided that it has all the maintenance items addressed that can be expected at this mileage and provided that there is no rust. Love the color combo and the lines of this car! Blacked out taillights and aftermarket grille are questionable choices but easily reversible

 

[PHK]

I think one of these was made for Michael Schumacher back in the day. But if this were it, I am sure the seller would make it known.

Several years ago I saw in a German scrap yard in Essen, a W124 Kombi with a V8 motor. i was wondering if it was a 400E/420E Kombi, was this possible to order at the factory?

Nope. There was never any S124 wagon that left the Mercedes factories with a V8. Every single one is a conversion done post-delivery.

Starting with the 210 chassis, MB offered a V8 in the estate/wagon (S210).

[benzboss]

Is this really for sale?

Still looks to be for sale on the classic digest website as linked above, so assuming yes it is really for sale and hasn’t sold.

What makes you ask?

 

[Shhnoozy]

I have interest in it, maybe I'll reach out to see if I can make it reality.

 

[benzboss]

That would be awesome. It’s a very special car. Good luck, hope it works out.

 

[AdamCabrio]

In that case, l'll be interested to know the VIN of this vehicle. Good luck!

PS. Pretty much sure the base Limited for the conversion was this one, as the same company offered it for sale before it was rear ended (for €39.5k!) ... not 100% sure about the timeline, since ad contains no date, and neither can I (momentarily) zoom into pics of instrument/odometer on present thread to compared (4-door car reading 148kkm by then - see 3rd pics)
