The Appeal
The Mercedes-Benz 190E was the brand's first foray into the compact executive segment, offering the renowned Mercedes build quality and engineering in a more accessible package. The W201 platform also proved itself to be a superb racing car, with Cosworth-tweaked versions winning numerous touring car competitions all over the world.
This 1990 example has been lovingly rescued from a five-year period of barn storage where it sat as a non-runner. The current owner has invested considerable effort in bringing this classic Mercedes back to life, replacing most of the fuel system and ignition components to restore it to running condition. The car has recently passed MOT with no advisories, ensuring it's now ready to go for the new owner.
For enthusiasts seeking a well-sorted example of this increasingly appreciated model, this 190E presents an excellent opportunity.
