I still think there is a possibility that this designation is genuine in some market place, somewhere in the world. Note that the vehicle is a long wheelbase E-Class.

Having said that, I have searched the Asian MB sites and done a google search on "Mercedes-Benz E1000" and come up with nothing.

Where did the picture come from?
