Any Mercedes-Benz 500E is pretty special, but add a celebrity owner into the mix and what you’ve got is a sleeper supersaloon with serious pulling power.
And that’s what we have here, because this Mercedes was owned by Rowan Atkinson – not once, but twice!
The actor and comedian is well-known as a serious car enthusiast and this Merc is a fine example of his good taste.
And now it could be yours – because it’s up for grabs at Classic Car Auctions’ sale next month and is being offered with no reserve.
One of only 29 examples of this 322bhp four-door supplied to the UK in left-hand drive, it was purchased new by Atkinson in 1991 and the Blackadder and Bean star enjoyed it for four years.
Its second owner kept it for 23 years before Atkinson bought it back – and now he’s consigning it to CCA’s auction.
