SUMMARY
Finished in gleaming 199 Blue/ Black with immaculate Grey Leather interior, this sought after six cylinder W201 has covered just 112, 900 miles and has had a small fortune lavished it on by a series of enthusiast owners. It also comes with a very high specification, which includes working Air conditioning, which has also just been serviced, ASD (locking differential) rear headrests, front armrest, Illuminating vanity mirrors, OTG and 15-hole alloy wheels, just fitted with brand new Uniroyal Rain Expert tyres. I've also just completed a major service on this car with all fluids (inc ATF & Filter) changed.
The car is comes with a very large file of invoices, that documents just about every penny spent on it, including a headgasket replacement and head rebuild at 94, 000 miles in 2013, as well an the air-conditioning being overhauled at quite some considerable expense the following year. I've just spent almost £1500 and a good few hours preparing this car, and basically future proofing it for the new next owner.
These cars are now very sought after; after the 190E Evo and 190E 16v (Cosworth) , the 190E 2. 6 is now the W201 to have, and was once actually voted as one of the best top ten cars of all time, by a panel of motoring journalists, which is quite some endorsement. I personally think the driving experience of the M103 "straight six" is much more pleasant and relaxing, than it is in the 16v models, and as I've always said, makes the W201 the car it always should have been. The power, or rather torque from the M103 straight six, is delivered smoothly, almost from the word go, making it much more useable, and although on paper the 16 valve cars produce more BHP, their performance, by the very nature of their multivalve engines, means all the power is up at the top of the rev range, so you always feel like you have to thrash them to unleash their full potential.
So in summary, a beautiful example, of a highly desirable variant of the W201, in a gorgeous colour combination. Recent stratospheric rises in the prices of the 190E 2. 3-16/ 2. 5-16 “Cosworth” models have had a direct knock on down the W201 model range, and with the 190E 2. 6 being next down the pecking order, it’s very likely values will continue to rise, further assisted by record low interest rates, a trend which is increasingly mirroring what happened during the financial crash of 2008.
Finally, the vehicle is currently carrying a moderately valuable registration mark, valued around £800. This is included in the sale, and will stay on the 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. To read more, see my website at - details above
Any other questions, please feel free to contact me. 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.
