- Low mileage, high specification W201
- Full service history with recent attention
- Long MOT to July 2024 with no advisories
- Ideal daily driver or weekend indulgence
The Appeal
The 190 saw Mercedes-Benz step firmly out of its lane. Here was a compact saloon aimed at a wider market than the firm’s traditionally select audience.
Those new buyers got a car that was imbued with all the values of the bigger models – the exquisite engineering, the handsome styling and the utterly dependable reliability. The six cylinder 2.6 litre model firmly took the fight to BMW’s 3-Series with a smooth, powerful and luxury alternative to the ‘ultimate driving machine.’
Here is a beautifully preserved, low mileage 2.6 with full service history and long MOT. The excellent condition and the high specification makes it perfect as a distinctive daily or it could be saved and enjoyed for shows and weekend drives.
