Hello from the Wirral

. I thought I’d show everyone my new (in the sense of recently purchased) 1989 190e 2.0. I bought her for the grand total of £510 with 12 months tax and 2 months MOT (but I am assured there is nothing to worry about when it’s up), which I thought was an absolute steal!

By the looks of things she has been garaged most of her life, there is not a scratch on bodywork and no rust what-so-ever. The only small problems I have found so far is a slightly worn driver’s seat bolster (which is expected) and the rear driver’s side window gets jammed after about 1cm of movement. You can hear the motor buzzing, but nothing happens?

There is 171,000 on the clock, but it has been serviced regularly and drives lovely. I have service history up to 150,000.

I’m just getting my head around the fact the lights are in an unconventional position and the indicator stalk is on the opposite side. And it took me ages to find the windscreen wiper controls.


Hope you like it.

The ebay photos don’t do her much justice, I’ll get some better photos up once I’ve clayed her.

Lovely looking car for £510,,,, can't believe it. Best of luck!

Solid as a rock, and not too much too go wrong with it, as this was the era before all the clever electronics.

Thanks for the welcome guys. The Wirral is by Liverpool not in Liverpool , but I'm sure you already knew that ;)

As for the lack of electronics, you're absolutly right. Even the injection system is mechanical, it's a wonderful machine to work on because everything is so simple!
