Description
Mercedes-Benz W201 190E 2. 0 Automatic finished in 702U Smoke Silver over 078 Grey fabric.
Current mileage of 55, 598 with 3 previous owners.
First registered on 16th April 1987 by Jim Russell Mercedes-Benz of Downham Market Norfolk (whose dealer sticker is still in the rear window today) to a local based accountancy firm for the wife of the director, it remained in their family ownership until June 2023 when I acquired it from a family member. Always garaged and serviced almost annually despite very few miles covered.
Optioned from new with the following:
222 - RIGHT FRONT SEAT, ELECTRICALLY ADJUSTABLE
286 - LUGGAGE NETS ON DRIVERS RESTS L AND R
400 - FOLDING ARMREST IN THE REAR
410 - SLIDING ROOF, ELECTRICALLY OPERATED
420 - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 4-SPEED
570 - FOLDING ARMREST, FRONT
583 - ELECTRIC FRONT WINDOWS
640 - 15-HOLE LIGHT ALLOY WHEELS
I have a large file of paperwork from 2000 onwards (before this the car was registered in the company name and paperwork sadly lost when the company moved) including every MOT certificate, all old v5's to show the trail of ownership, various bills from Jim Russell and Mercedes-Benz of Cambridge for servicing and repair work, pretty much anything needed was carried out.
Other items in the history file include the service book (all stamped up, including PDI etc) original brochure, original tax disc holder and key ring.
I have both original keys and the valet key still in it's leather pouch.
Since 2016 the car has been looked after by a well renowned Mercedes-Benz specialist. Since my ownership I have had the following work carried out:
May 2024 - full service including oil/ oil filter, air filter and spark plugs (all genuine Mercedes-Benz parts used).
- 4-speed gearbox service carried out with new oil and filter etc (again, genuine Mercedes-Benz parts used).
- All four alloy wheels stripped, powder coated and re-finished in the original silver, new centre caps (again, genuine) and shod in new Continental MO spec 185/ 65R15 tyres. MOT valid until June 2025 with no advisories - please feel free to check the history to verify the mileage and condition. You'll also see how few miles I've completed in my ownership which is the reason it's up for sale.
Sometime in 2010 the car was subject to an insurance claim due to a small bump the owner had, leaving the car with a Cat C marker. I do have a copy of all the repair paperwork and correspondence with the insurance company so you can see for yourself what the damage was etc. Even the repair work was carried out by Mercedes-Benz of Cambridges' approved bodyshop.
Genuine sale due to lack of space and time.
The car is currently stored in my warm, dry, well-lit garage so viewings can be done whatever the weather.
Located in Ely, Cambridgeshire.
