(rare) E55 wrecked

One of my dream cars, a mars red E55 bites the dust! Is it anyone's here? I recall seeing someone post here with a very classy red E55 in their sig (looked as if it was possibly in London???)...

Is this a board member, or does anyone know what happened? Did a search on the site and came up with nothing.

I realized the date and everything, I guess I was just wondering why it wasn't posted here-- I'm pretty sure it belongs to a board member, no?

I googled red E55 and actually came up with his sig picture:



Accident occurred in UK, the pic looks like it's in the UK...

LOL, I don't think there's much too do! Unless you can locate this wrecked E55 for me, I'd purchase it and rebuild it my damn self. Red on this car is pure sex.

What I wouldn't do for one now. If anyone knows where I can find one, PM me. It's actually how I found the red one, I was looking for a daily and I love the E55s but wanted something different. I don't understand why Mercedes didn't make more then 3.

Bro that Red E55 is destroyed, just buy a Silver or white E55 & have it re-painted, I did that w/my old 01 S430 Almondine blk (hideous purple color in day light) prof re-paint to Brilliant Silver included door-jams/ gas tank flap-door/under hood etc...

Looked perfect only me & DMV knew it's original color, you can prolly get a great deal in this economy on re-paint, I paid $8k back in 03' certainly be cheaper/better than repairing salvaged one.

I was looking to repaint my SL this same red, and Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach quoted me around 16K... I don't know where you got 8K from! I don't know how much I trust a 3rd party paint shop even if it was cheaper then the dealer... got any pics of your S?

username was "Mattar" I think....trashed it coming out of a tunnel onto damp road with Traction control off... or something along those lines.

Remember he had Eisenmann mufflers car sounded sick and think he wanted to hear it in the tunnel.

Right you are. I couldn't remember his name, but I do remember the tragic story.

First time I've seen that color on an E. Very nice. Too bad it wasn't salvageable.

Yep, that was Matar.

Check out this red E55 from the UAE with the SL65 wheels and a tinted windshield! Looks SO HARD!

You would be way better off going straight to a body and paint shop then going to any dealer. 10K for a paint job is about where you will be though.
Just do some research first on the shop.

No you can get that color standard from MBZ. You can get it in the US too, but they dont make the E55 anymore so theres really no other option than to repaint
