One of a kind, very unique, RESTORED 1989 Mercedes 190E 2.6L THIS IS A ONE OWNER CAR WITH CERTIFIED LOW 95,000 MILES ! (That’s 4,000 miles per year in 23 years).
People asked me why I chose the 2.6L automatic as a base for this car and not the 2.3L 16V model – the answer is simple – I wanted a reliable, easy to maintain, easy to drive, great handling car with plenty of torgue, good power and awesome looks! Although the 2.3L 16V has a racing history behind it and is a great car for the track, it sucks for everyday driving with no torgue, expensive to maintain cosworth engine. That’s why I chose this all original, One owner, low mileage 2.6L 6 cylinder car as a base for this project.

BODY:

Many-Many man hours went into the labor on this Mercedes to make this one off custom AMG kit fit right and to make this car as you see it today! It’s absolutely beautiful !
Fully repainted in OEM Mercedes White color, all dings, scratches, imperfections removed – the color looks amazing !
Custom AMG Body kit (front bumper with custom fog lights, side skirts, rear bumper, 3 piece spoiler and custom wheel flares), shaved antenna
European head lights with HID Xenon Low Beam, HID Xenon High Beam, HID Xenon Fog lights (pass side has small crack that does not affect the light, does not leak or fogup)
European Very Rare MHW all red tail lights
Euro Front Grill, custom Tri color pin stripe (German Flag with gold matching the color of the rims)

    BBS RS wheels were custom built with 2″ & 2″ lips, new chromed bolts, powder coated centers and barrels. A set like this in 17″ goes for around $3k.

    If you have an older German car and if you are interested in restoring it and if you have REALISTIC BUDGET, please contact me and our shop will make it happen

    Just got rid of my ’92 190E 2.6 w/Trac, already miss it after seeing this.

    Picked up a ’92 500E tho, so should be in good shape.

    This car is spectacular looking (and I’m sure driving).

    If selling GL with sale! If not, enjoy!!!!

    That’s one stunning 190, loving it! Nearly perfect. Are you aware if there are any other coilover sets for the w201 than those DPS’s? Havent found any other ones than those. They seem good too tho.

      Matt . As far as the look , may not appeal to you . But as an owner of FIVE 190e’s the execution is spot on . The kit is an original look for this car . When NEW this look was very expensive . The rims alone are crazy money and super rare . So as to ruining the car , ur wrong . As not your taste , well colors were made for ppl that dont like black or white . Its your choice . Im not saying this to bad mouth your choice but to clarify what ruining a car is . If you stop at a light , I can put money on a guy with a lambo , ferarri and such would give it a thumbs up .

        The AMG kit looks authentic for that car but stretching small tyres onto a large width rim is DEFINITELY a ricer mod. NOBODY at AMG ever thought that the perpose of a 10″ wide rim was so you could fit 215’s on a car. 10″ rim need 255’s as a minimum.
