Mercedes-Benz 190D

1988 Mercedes-Benz 190D “Old Blue” An exceptionally honest and original series 1 example of the iconic W201 Finished in its original 904 Midnight Blue with blue cloth interior and factory blue-tinted glass. This 190D is a well preserved and mechanically sorted example of Mercedes-Benz’s engineering excellence from the golden era. This car has been in the current ownership since 2019 and has been used on and off as a daily driver during that time. Mechanically, it has been maintained without compromise, with substantial investment. Recent works include a complete brake refurbishment, a full service, gear linkage rebuild, and a new heater fan. The car benefits from a comprehensive suspension rebuild where nearly all components have been replaced over the course of my ownership. The car has had a complete road spec polybush kit fitted and so it drives with precision. All the hard work has been done. It sits on rare, period-correct 16x7.5” Carat Duchatelet wheels which are specific to the W201. A drop in ride height enhances its stance, though original springs are included for those seeking factory spec. The bodywork is largely original and refreshingly honest, showing light scratches/ dents and blisters – this is a testament to its originality rather than neglect. Its very presentable and a true survivor. It's structurally sound, being an early car it hasn't suffered the corrosion which effects the later 1990's cars. The interior is equally impressive for it's age, the seats are totally unmarked, and the cabin as a whole is in very good condition. Taxed, NCT’d, and ready for immediate use, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a legendary Mercedes diesel sporting originality which is not seen in many.
