Mercedes 190 E 2.6 Auto in the desirable 199 U Black Blue Metallic with contrasting 275 Mushroom Cream Leather. 3 previous owners from new, HPI Clear, great service history, 6 months MOT remaining. The 2.6 sought after engine starts and runs great with no mechanical issues. History Originally supplied by Normand (Mayfair) Mercedes on 17th May 1988, the car was owned and cherished for 31 years. It was then bought by a classic car enthusiast who took on the task of restoring the car back to its former glory. From 2019 upto 2023 the car underwent an extensive restoration costing thousands. All receipts present. Some examples of work include: brake overhaul, rust repair, engine refurbishment, servicing, suspension work and much more. The car was then sold in 2023 to a son who purchased the car for his father as a gift who unfortunetly owned it for a short period of time due to his mobility issues making it difficult to get in and out of. I purchased the car in October 2024 to add to our collection of classic Mercedes but have now decided to sell and raise cash for a property purchase. Current Work Since in my ownership I have improved the following: replaced collapsed drivers seat base, new battery with 2 year warranty, new alternator and tensioner shocker, replacement car mats, refurbished alloys, Service History 21.06.88 881 miles Normand Mercedes 13.09.88 6,035 miles Normand Mercedes 12.05.89 12,239 miles Normand Mercedes 28.11.89 18,202 miles Normand Mercedes 25.09.90 25,050 miles HMG Bromley Mercedes 18.07.91 29,818 miles HMG Bromley Mercedes 23.03.92 35,948 miles Normand Mercedes 11.10.93 41,092 miles Independant 30.09.94 49,932 miles HMG Bromley Mercedes 30.11.95 55,027 miles Malaya Bromley Mercedes 08.02.96 61,349 miles Malaya Bromley Mercedes 12.12.96 66,799 miles Malaya Bromley Mercedes 04.07.97 72,875 miles Independant 05.11.98 80,195 miles Independant 07.09.99 84,308 miles Malaya Bromley Mercedes 19.04.01 90,108 miles Independant 01.04.21 125,951 miles Specialist Great Bits: Car comes with stamped service history books and user manual, original key ring, 4 Pirelli tyres all with good thread, working Blaupunkt period correct stereo with Bluetooth and DAB.
