Hello I would like to share my latest purchase, a pre facelift 190. I bought it from the original owner, who had stored it in a heated garage for the past 15 years. It's in really fantastic condition, with only a couple of small blemishes, and the interior is mint. The only thing I have done to it is change the wheels, and drop it closer to the ground!

Oh! This is lovely. Is the colour a flat or metallic? Looks very "right" to me.

I ran a 190d with 24000 miles on it when I got it, and that was not even close to how clean this looks. Very nice!
What are the wheels? they look like Porsche wintercult?

Nice one. Good to see a pre facelift car. Can't be too many of those left kicking about.

I'm not a big fan of big wheels (long live the side wall!) But those wheels look great. What are they off originally?

The wheels are genuine Mercedes 15 hole 7.5 x 16. I think they originally came off a 1990's S-Class (W140)

That looks ace. I've got a 2.5d on a D plate and it's making me want to give it some lows

*sticks head over parapet* Really really don't like what you've done with the wheels and tyres... but other than that, very nice car and good to see a pre-facelift!

looks in lovely condition, don't see many from this era in good condition they usually seem to rust pretty badly you might want to get some protection on it.
