The Gold Cup Classic Car Auction
1990 Mercedes-Benz 190
*** NO RESERVE ***
Registration - G506 DEH
Chassis No. - WDB2010232F704939
M.O.T. - No M.O.T.
Odometer - 162,024
The six-owners of this automatic transmission 190 have amassed a total of 162,024 miles between them, the most recent of whom has retained the car for the last three years. Its silver bodywork is matched to a blue cloth interior and, in an honest appraisal of the vehicle, the vendor notes that ‘there is a minor scuff on the offside front door and the corner of the nearside front bumper needs re-attaching, but that the Benz runs and drives and is a nice-looking car’. ‘G506 DEH’ comes complete with Pioneer audio system and is being offered at No Reserve.
The precursor to the C-Class, the W210 190 was Daimler-Benz’s compact executive offering from 1983 until 1993 and the most affordable model in its line up at the time. Some £600 million was reputedly spent researching and developing the car, with which the company pioneered a number of technical innovations such as the 5-link suspension system subsequently carried over to the C and E-Class ranges. The car featured anti-dive and squat geometry as standard and was available with airbags, ABS seatbelt tensioners and other safety features generally ahead of their time. There was just one body style, a three-box four-door saloon, a range of petrol engines from 1.8 to 2.6 litres, and a selection of diesel units from 2.0 to 2.5 litres. A total of nearly 1.9 million 190s were produced during its 10-year reign, many of which are still providing sterling service today – some with hundreds of thousands of miles on the clock. Thought by Mercedes to have been over-engineered, it is considered by many to be a better car than the C-Class range that replaced it!
In summary:
- A generally good-looking example riding on alloy wheels
- Tidy blue cloth interior
- Specification inclusive of Pioneer audio system
