A short mention of the 500E from the SPR Autos YouTube Q&A

[R129 UK]

Only very short but a 500E mention from across the pond in the UK at 2:45:

I have recently started watching their videos and they seem a decent bunch and seem to go the extra mile to help keep older Mercs on the UK roads.

I didn't realise they were all LHD so I learnt something today.

Apologies if you can't understand his Northern accent

More UK based E500 content here starting at 10:00

No idea if the owner is on here or not.

Well, I never expected to see this on my YouTube front page!!!, A legendary UK petrolhead reviewing the E500.

I'm sure there are a few technical inaccuracies for all you aficionados but...enjoy!!

The silver '91 looked very clean, the darker colour car didn't get as much attention - would the later car have had the 5 speed auto?

I know the R129 is "famous" for the kickdown being sluggish on the 4 speed.

Both are up for sale shortly for allegedly about £80K which seems high for cars not that popular or well known in the UK.

Good review. The guy gets it.
