·This is my 1993 Mercedes Benz E500 Limited. It was the first 4-door sedan built by Porsche.
During the early nineties Porsche sales were not doing well and it so happen that Mercedes Benz wanted to build another autobahn burner using the W124 platform. Enter Porsche who was contracted by Mercedes Benz to perform the chassis/suspension modification and shoe horn the modified SL500 V8 motor into the engine bay of the W124. When introduced, it was hailed as the fastest sedan in the planet with a top speed of 300kph with the speed limiter disengaged.
This car is already hailed a future classic and good examples are now being horded by collectors world wide. AMG and Brabus also came out with a modified version of the 500E, in limited numbers, called the E60 and E65 respectively.

·Rolls Royce Phantom.
A supplier just turned up in a £300k Rolls for a price review meeting. Seemed to take offence when my opening gambit was a 50% price reduction.

·For £300k I'd want a car that parks itself with the RR logo on the wheels the right way up too! 👍

·@erpin9 wow! Out of curiosity, how much would that car be valued at today? I've never heard of such a car, and I think... nothing like that exists in this part of the world.
@chunkythebulldog I would take offense too! Except, maybe I wouldn't have turned up in a RR Phantom for a price review meeting LOL!
Happy Eid Mubarak to my friends who celebrate! It was a public holiday in Malaysia yesterday, and as public holidays go, I don't usually wake up early. Only in exceptional cases, and yesterday was one of them -- I got to test drive an AMG GT! It looks so much better in the metal than it does in pictures, and since this was an Edition 1, comes with an additional rear spoiler that evens out the butt heavy rear. Sounds like a gattling gun set loose, too!
