nice forum you have here. only found it today.

i bought my 190e 2.0 auto new in 1991 for £19000 and it's been nearly perfect ever since. had a starting problem last year but apart from that it hasnt had a single fault in all that time.
it's now got 140,000 miles on it and mechanically is excellent and so is the beige interior but the champagne colour paintwork is show patches of laquer peeling in a few places.

im thinking of getting a 2.6 auto with leather etc but cant seem to find an unmolested one anywhere.

Hello and welcome, sounds like we have a true enthusiast here!

Have you tried Pistonheads? There's currently a 2.6 in Almandine Red with leather and desirable sportline chassis pack on there that looks like a good one with FSH. Well priced too for what it is.

Anyway, enjoy the site, and happy hunting.

Hallo and welcome.

I have been driving 190s and nothing else since 1989.

I didn't ( and still don't) think there was anything else worth driving.

ive got several new cars and i must say its certainly the best qaulity car ive ever bought but it was pretty expensive when new but i remember a friend spending nearly 16k on a siera saphire at the same time and his fell apart at less than ten yrs old.

its also the first car my friends and family ask if they can borrow.
i love the xar and will keep it till it dies and even then i may be tempted to re-engine it and respray it.
the interior is as new with no wear at all anywhere. just fancy something a little more sporty so wanted a 2.6 auto with leather but the wife thinks i should get a bodykit and respray the whole car in black and source a clean interior in cream coloured leather.

the odd thing is that i get a new car every 2yrs as i get so bored of modern cars but the 190 is so comfortable and unstressful to drive and i tend to lose it for the odd few weeks as someone in the family always wants to borrow it for something. they all see it as a cool retro car and not a banger like an old sierra or escort.
