VIN plates - can anyone confirm?

[e500.org]

Hello all,

Looking at an E500 Limited, can anyone tell me if the attached VIN plates and engine numbers make sense / look legit?

I can just make out 010 058 of the engine number (I think)





Regards,

Bill

Hi e500.org!

I can read the 119 97 .........
then 010 058 6 ........

Beyond that ?????

I guess you're trying to avoid my experience with my E500!

Yeah! I'm in doubt now - not entirely fussed if original but has to be 5.0L.

The number below 119 974 is 6 digit serial number and after that theres the E 10.0 mark. This indicates the compression ratio

Wherever the pic of the engine number came from, get them to send you a better one!

Datacard for WDB1240361C186236 says engine number should be 119974 12 010058, which seems to match the photo. Datacard attached.

If the car is missing the original radio, I have a NOS, only tested in my car for a few weeks. Complete in original box, and it is euro version and a Panasonic. Utterly rare! For sale!
