1992 300E, Sportline, Red. How rare?

[lalan64]

I have a 1992 300E, Sportline, Red.

Does any one have any idea how to find out how many of this car could have been sold in US? Has anyone seen another red in US?

I have had this car 9 years now, and have seen very few Sportlines (maybe only 7-8 in all these years. And, NEVER another RED one. I certainly doubt it means that it is more valuable...but would love to get some stats on it's rarity.

The only other red one that I have seen was on the web a few years ago...and was in Europe somewhere.

Found my old message where I posted same question a few years ago (under forgotten ID). Still have the car, still haven't seen another. And, even in Atlanta see very very few Sportline's ......maybe one per year.

Wow, great find. Never seen a red 500e either...but still not a sportline. This is strikingly similar to my red 300e sportline. My sportline does have the 2-tone red paint, unlike this 500e. Still, a beautiful car. Makes me appreciate mine even more after seeing another so similar.

sorry for my confusion, but what specifically makes your model a "sport line?" I have a friend in nebraska with an early 90's signal red 400e and my brother just bought an 89 300ce signal red but I have never heard of the "sportline"
