SUMMARY
The W201 190D 2. 5 with automatic transmission was a difficult car to obtain when new, and waiting lists were always long, so thirty years on, it's an even rarer find, especially with such low mileage. Originally suppied by Arlington Mercedes, Northampton, this has been my own car since 2015; I bought it on 10/ 03/ 2015 from a Diesel specialist Technician who worked for many years at Mercedes' Milton Keynes UK HQ, and had owned her twice. Since around 2016, she's resided in my (dry) garage at home for much of that time. I did lots of work on her when I acquired the car, infact I'd actually forgotten just how much I'd done, until I went around the car a few weeks ago. However, since late 2018, she's mainly sat unused in the garage, and since the beginning of the Covid lockdowns in 2020/ 21 she hardly turned a wheel; that was until 29th June this year. Although she'd been started and run a little during the hibernation, the last time she'd been started and let run properly for a while, was back in December 2021; I reconnected the battery, turned the key and she sprang into life immediately, no wobbles, no missing, no smoke, just an instant even diesel idle, with that distinctive 5-cylinder "oily purring" only these engines make; I actually came across the term "Oily Purring" whilst reading a Thomas The Tank Engine book to my older son when he was a Toddler, and always thought how it perfectly described how these MB OM6XX engines sound when they're in fine health. I then, on a bit of a whim, decided to take her for MOT, which she passed immediately. These are quite amazing cars in that respect, and I'm finding myself questioning whether I really should be selling her, as decent examples of 190D 2. 5 are super thin on the ground in 2022, and the chances of finding another like her are now quite remote. However, as MTSV has grown the increasing need for more space is pressing, so very, very, very reluctantly (and I sincerly mean that) I'm going to let someone else be the next custodian of this most incredible machine. I've run her around for a week or two to shake down any potential issues, then had a small service carried out, which included replacment of a few other precautionary items. Now, sadly for me, she's ready to go to her next custodian.
Finally just to mention there's been a considerable amount of interest in this car already, so to be fair to all concerned, now she's ready to go, I'm reluctantly having to adopt a first come, first served basis with the sale of this car.
THE MTSV DIFFERENCE
Unlike some, I don't just simply go out, buy any old car, give it a good clean, then advertise it for more than the purchase price, disregarding any issues the car may have in the hope the new buyer won't notice…I just couldn't do that. The cars I source are carefully selected and I work very hard so that when my cars leave me, I have the satisfaction of knowing they are as good as they possibly can be within the constraints I have. As such I have many repeat customers and new customers that have been recommended via word of mouth…the ultimate accolade for anyone in business.
Any other questions, please feel free to contact me at using the button below or on the details below. I'm a firstly and foremostly a true car enthusiast of many, many years, and a Mercedes Club Member, so it's a pleasure to meet and speak to like-minded people.
Finally, I'm situated in Keighley, West Yorkshire (Postal Code Area BD21) which is approximately 11 miles from Skipton, and 20 miles West of Leeds.
