W251 R500 years offered
Discussion
Wikipedia tells me that the R500 was offered in the UK with a 5.5L engine, which I presume coincided with the 2010/11 facelift.
However, I can only ever find R500s in pre-facelift guise on the second hand market and I have been watching these for a couple of years now on autotrader.
Can anyone confirm otherwise?

There seem to be very few larger cars with the 390bhp engine. I think there are but a handful of e500 estates, a few more saloons.
R500 are fairly rare anyway but I've only seen a couple of 5.5. Last one I saw was a more reasonable £7k and the ad got scammed several times.
No idea if they are mainly 6 or 7 seaters. I'm sure I saw a figure of about 8 rhd r63 too. Who buys a 6.3 litre people carrier new? Cool used but someone has to shall out the 100k+ in the first place.

In the UK maybe 10 E Class estates. Quite a lot more saloons. A few hundred coupe's (yes I know they're C class-based).R500 are fairly rare anyway but I've only seen a couple of 5.5. Last one I saw was a more reasonable £7k and the ad got scammed several times.

The 5.5 seems to have been more common in the CLS.
But probably still very low numbers.
In the US of course the 5.5 is the entry level CLS which is more like it.
