What do you guys think? There obviously a sort after car, with a good following, but this brabus re-engineered effort... Step too far, or mercedes perfection?

[jatinder]

Massive price, but good effort.

I'm sure there are a couple of PHers with Brabus 190E's

[Rocksteadyeddie]

That's expensive

Looks horrendous, but I'm sure it will be a lovely thing.

They used to do a convertible 190 as well.
Seen a few articles in old Autocars and Fast Lanes on them

No.

They even made them in RHD if your pockets were deep enough.

Nice but price is high, quarter of a million for 280 convertible as well

[clonmult]

Its expensive, the colour doesn't suit it in the slightest, its powerful but not hugely so.

Interesting proposition, but damn near everyone on the planet would question the sanity of someone buying that car. Must be one of the lowest mileage 190E's on the planet though?

[Drederick Tatum]

Love it!

[Roo]

Nice car, but it's a bit steep.

Would like nice on my drive though.

[briSk]

i need that so much!

proper 'period' detailing too!

[briSk]

oh and the reason it costs so much is down to darling as much as Brabus!

a year or so it would be equiv to say £50k which is steep but e30 m3s can hit 30k in great nick can't they...?

[sleep envy]

very nice indeed

I like that. A lot. Just not in DKR that's all.

[sleep envy]

I don't know, if you're going to have a lairy Merc you might as well go for the full sherbang!!

[L100NYY]

True chum, true. But just how lovely would it look in silver on those black wheels complete with coded 'cage....?


Oh God......
