Hi From the UK!
I am new to this forum although I have been watching and learning for quite a few months.
Such a wealth of knowledge!
Tomorrow I will be viewing a 1994 E500 Limited, Sapphire black, just arrived in the UK from Tokyo.
The data card states 'order location Frankfurt branch'......would it be ok to check if this vehicle is known to any of you good folk here??
The vin number is: WDB1240361C115827 I would massively appreciate any advice as this will be my first and long awaited E500. Dee
 
Hi Dee, from a UK owner of a 1993 500E!
Welcome to the site. I'm afraid I can't help you with any more information on the Limited you're going to see, but I'm sure there will be others on this site you will possible know more about the car. If it's come in from Japan, hopefully you won't have any problem with having to find left hand traffic headlights!
Good luck with your viewing tomorrow, and keep us informed?

Thank you for the lovely welcome r44raven! I have done a fair bit of research and will be having it rustproofed and possibly replacing the upper and lower wiring harness etc...
I always wanted the chance to drive one (love the W124 series) but here I am poised, ready to buy....Oh joy!!
I am happy to share it's details but suspect there will be no history as such.
Maybe see you at Simply Mercedes Beaulieu in August?
 
Exciting! Fingers crossed your viewing goes well

If you use the search function on the forum nothing comes up with that VIN. Maybe one of the Japan based folks know or have come across the car the car (@Provet)?

Thanks for checking TimL I will find my way around this site eventually!
I'm so excited, like a kid in a sweet shop :yahoo:
 
Hello and welcome! Everything you need to know E500 wise you'll find on this forum. 1994 E500 Limited owner here, in Dubai, UAE.

No information on that car unfortunately, specification seems very similar to mine, albeit mine was originally a Moscow car which ended up in Japan too until around 11 years ago. It would be good to see photos of the E500 if you have any, glad to take a look.

Hello and thank you e500.org!
I don't have any photos yet but I will be happy to share.
I believe that the lovely Evo11 wheels have been painted so one of my first jobs would be to restore them. Did you find any history for yours? Or is that not an easy thing to obtain from Japan?

A meet-up at some time would be good. I'm not sure about August - I have a feeling I'll be visiting our granddaughter then. Keep us posted on how you fare with your proposed purchase, and if it all goes well, we'll definitely organise something. I'm in the Bath area. There are two of us hereabouts with 500e's.

Excellent :) We are based in Poole, not a million miles away. Take your granddaughter a little die cast model... my passion for cars stared at aged three! I will report back, I hope, with good news.
Thanks to all for such a warm welcome.

Hello Eno :) I think joining the E500E Board is possibly the best thing I have done this year so far!
Thank you so much, I believe the mileage stands at 139,000km. I will go today armed with a good torch, a list of questions and clear mind....and try not to be bowled over by it's natural beauty.

Good luck, we eagerly await the result of your viewing and would highly appreciate photos of this E500. Oh, major lucky score funding the german logbook through Eno!

Absolutely brilliant find! I'm so excited about seeing it....I must not speed on the way there. Taking my E350 W212 as my driving buddy. :)

Hello Eno from 4 years ago! I thought I should, at long last, update.... I did buy the E500 Ltd, life took a major twist so I didn't get back to you all. I've been to many shows and had so many offers for it! I'm totally besotted, my poor Corvette is feeling abandoned... I will try to upload a pic or two but just wondered if by any chance you still had it's paperwork? So nice to be back.

I'm sorry it took so long to share, I've enjoyed every single moment I have had with this beautiful beast! It has the usual damp distributer cap issues but I take my drying out kit in the boot with me when we go for a run 😂
If you add the vent slots as shown in this thread, and eliminate oil leaks from the intake cam advance, that should cure the "damp distributor" issues permanently.

Oh this is great, thanks! I'm lucky to have a fantastic Techy, he removed my starter motor.....In my garage! and had it reconditioned, he also found a hairline break in the spade fuse, I will ask him to sort this for me, I'm just not good enough to do it myself.
