Bought mint condition 190e 2.6
Some of you already know but I just recently picked up another 190e 2.6
One of the cleanest examples I have ever seen.
The car was never driven in the winter and always garaged, it looks as if it just rolled off the assembly line.
One owner car, 50k miles and has all original manuals and everything.
You gotta see this car in person, I've never seen a 190e in such excellent condition.
Now I need some wheel suggestions
Here are some pics:

LUCKY!!! LUCKY!!! YOU!!!
I have the EXACT same car but my headers are rusty, my head doesn't look as clean as yours, my paint is peeling from the roof and in between the headlights and plastic front bumper.
Why was it sold though?

It was an older gentleman who had it, and he had it garaged for almost 4 years and then from 2005-present, he only put about 1000 miles on it.
He didn't tell me the exact reason as to why he was selling it, but I would imagine it was due to the fact that he had a few newer Benzs and no longer drove this one.

Just ordered some 18" wheels for it, that's all the details for now, until I get them mounted, I should receive them within 7-10 days.

I also have this sitting in the garage but I still need to do more research.
If anyone knows of anyone who has installed a turbo with success let me know.
