An immaculate W201 190E 2-litre automatic with just 42k miles from new and factory-fitted air conditioning.

Finished in Brilliant Silver metallic with black cloth trim. Factory air conditioning, front and rear electric windows, alloy wheels, rear headrests and outside temperature display. The A/C is the rare one – whilst this was always available as an option, it is rare to see on 190s in the UK.

Powered by the 2-litre engine and four-speed automatic, which is a great combination for this car. Smooth, decent performance and sensible on fuel.

Just imported from Japan where it has not been exposed to road salt or Britain’s damp climate! As a result, this 190E is totally rust free. It has also evidently been garaged too as there is no heat/UV damage evident either. Since it’s arrived it has been UK registered, serviced and shod with four new Continental tyres.

The bodwork is in great condition and, as previously mentioned, has zero corrosion. It still retains its correct amber indicators and satin lower panels.

The interior is immaculate with unmarked upholstery and near perfect door cards, which, if you know these cars, you will know is a rarity. The Zebrano wood is rich and glossy and a new Blaupunkt radio has been fitted.

The wheels are unmarked and wear new Continentals.

The underside is immaculate with no rust of any kind.

Comes with books and service history from Japan.

Now that the newest 190E is 33 years old, it’s becoming harder and harder to find exceptional examples that aren’t rusty in the body, tatty in the trim and just not worth the cost of restoring, which is why we’ve taken to looking worldwide for these cars.

A great opportunity to acquire a very low mileage, rust-free 190E with desirable air conditioning.
