A first-year Mercedes-Benz 500E snagged on a message board catering to this specific model. Limited production and far more reliable / cheaper than a comparable E34 M5. I've become a big fan of vintage Mercedes of the 80s and 90s and this one has the added bonus of reminding me of my Dad's Smoke Silver 300E.
