    Re: Mercedes-Benz W124 500E aka Porsche typ 2758

    Took the old girl with me to the Nurbürgring 24h, stretched her legs on the autobahn. Still as fit as she was in 1992. wink

    Meanwhile this one is still going strong, on full time family duty since wife's Alpina had an engine failure. Such a great car this, don't think I can ever part with it.

    such a cool car...Not worried about child safety with such an older car? I shelved my plan to buy a 993, solely because my 2 years old son would be passenger from time to time.

    I probably should but no, not really. Usually we use the Alpina for driving him around, it's usually just locally anyway. Smiley

    Sorry to hear about the alpina. What happened ? Need a new engine? Is it the Diesel or the petrol one ?


    Re: Mercedes-Benz W124 500E aka Porsche typ 2758

    The petrol one, loss of power and always going into limp mode. Then developed a ticking noise, replaced all possible pumps and injectors to no avail. They're now changing the timing chain and tensioner as a last resort.

    The diesel one is running faultlessly for 170k km now already.

    Well, hopefully it will be resolved at some point. I suppose the car must be out of warranty though Smiley 

    170K on the D3 ? Wow, I would have never guessed. Your green monster still looks like new to me  Smiley 

    BTW, did you finally ordered a new GT3 ? I think I read somewhere that you did but I'm not sure anymore. If you did, many congrats !

    Re: Mercedes-Benz W124 500E aka Porsche typ 2758

    As I've always regretted selling the 500E, I was sure one had to come back to me at some point. One to keep in that case, so preferably in the best spec/condition possible.

    I wasn't actively looking lately as it wasn't really the time to buy for me, and I wouldn't know where to store it either. Until a friend showed me a link of a gorgeous one-owner green 500E. Up for auction. Dreamspec, a '91 example, originally delivered to Nice, so with the yellow headlights (French cars had yellow headlights until '93), in my favorite hue, green. How could I resist... I put out a lowball bid, and kind of forgot about it, but when the end of the auction neared, I was still the highest bidder. 2 mins before the end, finally overbid, but slightly. So I put one final bid in, and it was mine. angel

    As it wasn't really the right time to buy a car again, I phoned a friend who I knew was thinking of a nice 500E as well, so we decided to make it a project together. That solved my storage issue at once as well, everyone happy!

    The car was located in Gstaad so we made a weekend out of it to go and collect the car. Collection day didn't disappoint, some photos:

    Re: Mercedes-Benz W124 500E aka Porsche typ 2758

    When we got the car back home, we had it checked by a local specialist and the verdict was good, but not brilliant. Structure and body all perfect, as you'd expect for a car having lived in the south of Europe (no salt). However the engine had some misfires, gearbox a bit slow, engine mounts tired, ...So the decision was taken to essentially throw the kitchen sink at it, and have it restored to factory fresh condition. This work is taking place now, I have shitload of photos of the work being carried out if some are interested. Looking forward to the result when all is done.
