Invitaion. German 036 Whatsapp Group and some Gatherings...

036

E500E **Meister**

Hello and welcome.
Couple of weeks ago i was invited in a new born 124036 group in Germany. There are already ca. 35 cars, interesting and very different owners, also from Austria or Switzerland etc. Groupe Language is german, english is not that popular here in D.....
I understand that such a whatsapp "ocean of messages" is not for everyone, on the other hand noone is obliged to answer )) If some german speaking members here are interested- please PM me, i´ll send you a direct Link.
There is a gathering planned on 3 of July this year, of course at Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. Everyone is welcome, i´ll post updates to this gathering here.
Cheers.
 
Ark July in Stuttgart is near impossible, the AMG event at the museum was moved to September because of Covid Restrictions.

Let the group know, as many people were hoping to do something in the summer.

If they like I could arrange something with Schoene sterne in late august or with the concours in early September.
 
Were aroгnd 30 cars. I didnt make a lot of pics, other people did, also a professional. It may come later.
I did some videos, have to cut it together. To be continued.

Very Nice!

30 E500Es is a sizable lot for a GTG.

It’s hard to get that many together in the US. To many miles in between.

Nice variation of colors there! Is the green car Malachite? I can't quite tell in the photos.

Looks like also Bornite, Almandine Red, and possibly Azurite Blue present as well?

:wahoo:

I believe it’s the car 036 was talking about earlier in this thread:

A rough looking U.S. car that was exported and then repainted

Was repainted in Moos Grün, original MB colour, but not for 124036.

Yes. Bornit was even an E60. Azurite Blue is also correct. Also E60 if i am not wrong. The only E60 in this coulour, another two are "normal" E500...
 
Do any of the German forum members have access to KBA Zulassungsdaten for 500E? It would be super interesting to know how many 036 are still on the road in Germany, seeing that it was by far and away the biggest market. Think @gerryvz has a good idea as to how many are still around in the U.S…. Maybe @744Brillantsilber, @036 or @Twilling have KBA data……
 
Hey Tim,
this may help: Kraftfahrtbundesamt Zulassungszahlen 2020 W124 W123 W201 2019 - wagen124.com
Not the latest data, but it gives a direction.
Remember that cars stored in a collection, while restoration,... and are not registered are not shown in the KBA data too
Well, we got some interesting List, ok, its 10 years old. There were around 900 cars in Germany. I would be very interested to confirm adleast US Numbers......
835 cars registerred in Australia???

Wow,

Thank you for sharing, Merlin! Crazy to think that only around 500 cars are left of those 7,000 or so that went to the German market........even if you double that number to account for any unregistered cars (collector cars) - which is way too generous, you are only ending up with a 1,000 cars.......I guess rust, crashes and heavy exporting to Eastern European countries must have decimated the German 036 pool :shock:
 
Any chance a bunch of the cars are in storage, and simply not registered?

Even if you assume that the same amount of cars that is registered is in storage, it's still just barely over 1,000 cars. That's not a whole lot of cars left......

The thing that strikes me is the sheer number of cars in Russland vs. DE. I wonder if that ratio has just increased over time by now.
 
This is sad! Let's hope that the red car shows up soon, in one piece and good condition!

According to the "wagen124" data there are 981.036s registered in Germany with two different "Schlüsselnummern". One at the top and the other at the bottom of the list.
About every car for sale from a dealer is not registered, and I am not sure if cars with a seasonal plate count as registered or not if you are not allowed to drive it in this month. Since the data was likely taken during winter at the end of the year, there may be a few more...

And yes, many high powered MBs went to Eastern Europe
 
Thanks for the photos and video.

Lovely and refreshing to see many colour combos and also modifications, would be very boring if we all went OEM !
 
And now professional pictures.
