An extremely rare late E550 (badged E500 in the UK), powered by the 4.7-litre Biturbo V8 engine, with just 16k miles from new!

 

Packing 402BHP and 443lb/ft, the E550 delivers monstrous performance without the conspicuous drama of the AMG models. It is quiet, rides beautifully on its air suspension and, aside from the boot badge, gives no outward hint as to its performance potential. The thinking man’s performance E-Class perhaps.

 

Just imported from the kind climate of Japan where cars are subject to more rigorous testing and generally better cared for than in the UK. We bring interesting late-model Mercedes from Japan as they are models that you cannot find here and in a condition that you cannot find here.

 

This example, finished in metallic black with black trim, boasts a very high specification including panoramic roof, power boot, adaptive cruise, intelligent bi-xenon headlights, heated front and rear seats, rear blinds, rear camera and so much more. See the full list below.

The COMAND system has been fully converted to UK operation with the latest maps available. Mercedes dashcams fitted front and rear too.

 

Full service history with an incredible 10 services from new, despite only having covered 16k miles. An A Service has recently been carried out.

 

Immaculate condition throughout. The black paintwork is near enough flawless, the alloy wheels are unmarked and wear matching recent Pirelli tyres all round.

Similarly, the interior is in incredible condition as you might expect with so few miles.

Coming from Japan, where road salt isn’t used, the underside is completely free of the corrosion that blights UK delivered cars.

 

ULEZ compliant and only £345 road tax per annum.

 

In summary, a very rare, very potent E550 with full history and extremely low miles. What tremendous value.
