This is the Mercedes-Benz 500 E which would later become the Mercedes-Benz E 500, and it is glorious. Some 25 years ago, Mercedes gifted racing driver Hans Hermann the ten thousandth E 500 ever built. That"s because Hans Hermann is a legend who raced with Mercedes in the mid fifties alongside Fangio, Kling, and Sir Stirling Moss. He also clocked up five Le Mans wins with Porsche. And it was Porsche who helped Mercedes build the 500 E which would later become the E 500. First unveiled in Paris in 1990, this Merc was remains a Proper Thing. Merc took the regular W124-gen E and flared out the arches, lowered it by 23mm, and gave it a new front apron.
