I've just been to a Coys auction in London where there was an E500 LTD on sale. I had a careful look and apart from the different interior fabric, different wheels and a different windscreen cleaning fluid container - the engine looked the same like mine E500.

I took pictures of most of the interior:

The car was estimated at between 14 and 17,000 british pounds and comes from a single owner.

There are two pages!
