First registered on 16th May 2003, this Mercedes-Benz E500 (W211) Avantgarde left the factory finished in Black with Cream leather upholstery.

The Avantgarde trim upgraded the cabin with sportier styling cues and enhanced comfort options.

Powered by the 5.0-litre (4966cc) V8 engine paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, it sits on AMG-style alloy wheels in a complementing Graphite Silver.
