1989 Mercedes-Benz 190 W201

Highlights

  • Advisory-free MOT until 30th May 2025
  • Just 76,328 miles from new

The Appeal

If you enjoy well-preserved original cars, well, it’s your lucky day.
The W201 190 series was credited as Mercedes-Benz’s first compact class automobile. It would of course go on to spawn the legendarily capable 2.3-16V Cosworth, but it’s rare to find good original examples of the standard saloon. This 1989 example has reportedly had just two former owners, covering a mere 76,328 miles. It’s in fantastic original order - a real survivor car, the likes of which you seldom see.
Complete with an advisory-free MOT, this beautifully preserved 190 is worthy of any collection.
