Getting very hard to find, this is a well maintained example of the W211 E500, in rare estate form. In "old money" Elegance spec, it attracts little attention from other road users and the rozzers, but with the silky smooth M113 engine generating 306 bhp and 339 lb-ft / 460 Nm @ 2700 rpm it is Q-car fast when it needs to be. Refined and relaxing to drive, great visibility, comfortable, cavernous boot. More economical than you would think. Leather throughout. Front seats are electrically adjustable with orthopaedic controls and memory. Rare options include heated seats front and rear, and leather and wood steering wheel (electrically adjustable). Cruise / speed limiter. Auto lights and wipers. Air suspension with 3 modes. Electrically assisted braking. COMAND unit with single CD. Ski flap, split rear bench, soft close boot.
