Hi there everyone.

I have a White 1987 190E 2.0Auto in need of a new home.

Has full body kit inc. boot spoiler and Wolferace Alloys.

Has not run for a couple of years so needs towing away but FREE to good home.

Would make excellent project, has had recon engine/gearbox so once started should run well.

Am looking for pictures taken about 4 years ago when it had been resprayed.

Located between Chester/Wrexham.

:)

might be an idea to read the Uriapheap thread pinned at the top of the for sale (Cars) Section. ;)

Hi there and welcome :)

A very generous offer you have made and I am sure someone would gladly give it a nice home B)

Andy was only trying to point out that someone once gave a car away and the person who took it ended up trying to sell it on for £££s.

I am sure that most people are perfectly genuine though and you'll find a nice home for it in no time.

Maybe insist on a charitable donation (eg £100?) to a good cause instead of giving the car away for zilch? ;) It must be worth that in scrap alone :)

If a few members come forward for it, maybe open a poll with reasons why that member should get it!!

Or it could become a site sponsored track day car!!??

Thanks guys - have read the thread!"!"

Truth is my sister needs the car off her drive as she is hoping to move home in a few weeks and is renting at the moment.

It was my Dad's car and he passed away 8 years ago. Since then car has hardly been used (130000) on clock but had a replacement engine/gearbox about 5k miles ago.

I thought I would offer it as a freebie as my Dad would have done something like that if he was still around.

Car is SORN and we have full paperwork, receipts etc for parts.

I would love the car myself but haven't got the time/money to do it up.

Thanks again for the 'warning' but hopefully a genuine enthusiast will get the car and restore it to it's former glory!

Hi

Right sir you are the first person to actually say you want the car so in my mind that makes it yours (first come first served!).

Car is modded anyway so no problem with a 'facelift'

Here is a picture of the car in its heyday, this was taken about 5 years ago...but car has had a full respray (same colour) and wheels blasted since.

Before you get too excited though it has been standing for about 2 years and needs a lot of TLC!

Isn't that how Car sales work? lmao

If I called a scrappy now there would be a sharp intake of breath followed by a £200 quote for recovery sounding like they were doing me a favour!! "before"

A good home for a nice car.

Good luck with it Andy.

That car looks pretty cool.

Well done wkdtroll.

I have no doubt that the car will be in good hands.

Andy's reputation as an MB mechanic is second to none.
