The wifes uncle has given me this!

86k Mot'd & Tax'd

Love driving it, just has a feel good factor even though it's probably only worth £500!

funnily enough I was just looking at the 190E cosworths....... rather tempted I suppose it'd be a practical classic at 18 whistle



i wouldn't be able to keep it standard though ... which would ruin it.


This is a tidy example chap.... happy wafting !

It sure does waft along, if anyone was thinking of getting one I'd say go for it!

I have a big soft spot for the original baby Merc. Have had ... er ... 5 of them (although none at the moment).

Looks to be in decent condition. The 190 forum is very active and worth joining for tips tricks and spares.

This was my last one:

I had a red 1984 190e, 2.0, and she was surprisingly spritely. Handled very nicely, and felt like a tank. A bit tweedy inside, but I really liked it.

I'm thinking of using it as my daily driver for a while, looking through the history there is a bill from 2009 for £735! 36k service and a load of suspension bits & bobs. So I'm guessing I could get a while out of it yet.

Love these, top waft-mobile. Great car OP, enjoy it, and that is ultra small mileage for one of these.

Great cars, i'm a massive W201 fan!

I bought a 92' 190e 2.6 Sportline when I was a student in Boston, and it's still one of the best cars I've owned.

I had a late 190E 2.0 that I bought when I first moved to Luxembourg back in 1998. I ran it for 2 years, put over 120,000km on the clock and it never missed a beat. thumbup

The only 'problem' it had was maintaining speed on the E411 in the Ardennes on the long inclines. I usually had to drop down to 4th to get up tham at any speed.
