1989 Mercedes-Benz 190D

Description

1989 MERCEDES-BENZ 190D 2.5 DIESEL; One Owner from New; 152,000 Miles currently showing on the speedometer Barolo Red; 5-Speed Manual: Long MOT; approximately £3,000 recently spent on a comprehensive engine service; driven to site over 65 miles

A well-preserved example of Mercedes-Benz's much-loved W201 190D, this 1989 2.5-litre diesel has remained with the same owner from new for an impressive 37 years.

Finished in the particularly rare factory Mercedes-Benz Barolo Red, the car presents in good cosmetic condition for its age, with the vendor reporting original, rust-free jacking points and sills.

The car has covered approximately 152,000 miles and comes with an unusually comprehensive history. This includes the original delivery note from the day it was purchased, the original service book, extensive invoices and both Mercedes-Benz main dealer and specialist service history. Four original keys are also included.

Considerable expenditure has recently been invested in preventative maintenance and mechanical recommissioning, with approximately £3,000 recently spent on a comprehensive engine service. Work includes refurbishment of all five fuel injectors, a genuine Mercedes-Benz water pump, new radiator and engine mounts, manifold gaskets, suspension mounts and springs, together with renewal of various engine-bay rubber hoses.

The fuel pump has also been serviced, including replacement of the gaskets and seals, addressing a known area of concern on these cars. Further work has been carried out to the exhaust manifold.

The vendor reports that the 190D starts and drives as expected, with everything working as it should. It has also benefited from a long history of MOT tests, with the vendor reporting decades of largely advisory-free MOTs.

A well documented example of Mercedes-Benz's legendary W201, combining one-owner provenance, a rare factory colour, extensive Mercedes-Benz service history and significant recent preventative maintenance. An increasingly desirable modern classic and a particularly interesting example for the Mercedes-Benz enthusiast or collector.
