This 1995 Mercedes-Benz E500 Limited is reportedly one of 120 Limited models produced for the 1995 model year and was originally ordered via the Reutlingen branch of Mercedes-Benz in December 1994. This European-market example reportedly spent time in Japan prior to its importation to Dubai in 2019. The car is one of 951 Limited models produced throughout all model years and is finished in Sapphire Black (009) over special two-tone Gray and Black (288) leather. Power is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include an electric sunroof, automatic climate control, heated power-adjustable front seats with memory function, a cassette stereo, and 17″ Evo wheels. This E500 Limited shows just under 99k kilometers (~61k miles) and is now offered by the seller in Dubai with manufacturer’s literature, original tool roll, partial service records and a clean UAE title.
The E500 was designed and built in collaboration with Porsche, and features widened front and rear fenders with unique bumpers. This example is finished in Sapphire Black (009) paint which was offered exclusively on Limited models. Additional features include clear turn signal lenses and side marker lamps, a power antenna, and a power tilting and sliding steel sunroof.
The 17″ Evo wheels were equipped from the factory for Limited specs and are wrapped in 245/45 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires showing 2021 date codes. The E500 featured a wider track and a lower stance compared to other W124 models, while the front disc brakes were shared with the contemporary R129 SL600.
The car is trimmed in Black leather with Gray-patterned inserts on the Recaro seats and door panels which is a unique combination for Limited specs. Amenities include heated and power-adjustable front sport seats with memory function and perforated bolster inserts, Birdseye maple wood trim, cruise control, automatic climate control, dual front airbags, a factory cassette stereo, and Mercedes-Benz-stamped stainless-steel door sills.
A two-toned leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 260-km/h speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline and an inset clock. Additional gauges include coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure, along with an LCD external thermometer. The six-digit odometer shows 99k kilometers (~61k miles), approximately 1,500 kilometers of which were added by the selling dealer.
The 5.0-liter M119 V8 features dual overhead camshafts and produced 322 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission.

Late to the party here, but I see that Fossilmann bid in Nov-2021 on a... 560 SEC, C126 chassis? And is calling the W124 E500 a fossil? Whooo! Pot/kettle there. Must be something I'm missing about the 32-year old fossil coupé. 0_o$72,500 bid placed by @BaronSmdi

Beautiful Car. Please ignore the reference to “fossil”. Everyone can not appreciate a classic Mercedes when they see it. Especially if they are BLIND!Hi sent you a pm ThksFossil... well, a prehistoric stone axe is likewise primitive, but you can sure do some damage with it. There's nothing one can say to someone who calls this car a fossil, except that you ought to drive one. Maybe you could do it under an assumed name, since anyone who read your remark isn't likely to allow you to drive theirs. Certainly not me. Fossil.... I thought the idea of this web site was to appreciate and market vintage and collector cars. Some of which inevitably are old, or older. Maybe you got lost on the web and ended up here by mistake?$10,500 bid placed by @Daytona
@Starkermann Thats not very "enthusiastic" from someone who claims to be a "classic mercedes enthusiast". Haha. There are a lot of MBs that I don't particularly love - personally - but your wholesale dismissal of an exceedingly rare, limited edition, high performance "super sedan" of the 90s seems misplaced. The interior is definitely bold and not particularly timeless, but its also fun, flashy and emblematic of the excesses of the era. Part of the fun of these "era-correct" examples is the wild options/choices that were available at that time....just like some of the weird paint colors on 1970s MBs. Some might call them "hideous", in retrospect, but others are able appreciate them for what they are and, more importantly, when they came from....enthusiastically. Very nice presentation by the seller. Good luck with the auction.I am a classic mercedes enthusiast, and I see absolutly nothing noteworthy or special about this almost 30 year fossil... No more power than a regular E500 but has a hideous interior...@mwren yes it’s original factory’s painting , very rare to find original paintHello- beautiful car. Is the paint original? any areas repainted? Thanks@Shamoodagreat 3k$ to 4k$What’s the shipping cost to New York@Kovalboxer Hello I can help to finish all the procedures in my country, but you have to know that the Buyer has to pay all the shipping costsHi. How Winner of this car on auction gets the car worldwide? Thank youLove the interior on the Limited. These should continue to standout and hold strong values with such low production numbers. Interesting this has a December 94 production date so this is likely one of the very last Limited editions made.$8,888 bid placed by @_Will_
