1992 190E with full history now £1250 For Sale
My 1. 8 manual was supplied on 29/ 04/ 92 to Mrs. Luxton of Lifton in Devon by the local Mercedes main dealer, Carrs of Exeter.
Mrs Luxton kept the car until 06/ 05/ 94 during which time the following stamps were recorded in the Maintenance Booklet (all by Carrs of Exeter) -
29/ 04/ 92 - PDI
03/ 06/ 92 - Inspection 1 at 1860 miles
14/ 10/ 92 - 7561 miles
03/ 03/ 93 - 13606 miles
21/ 06/ 93 - 19287 miles
03/ 11/ 93 - 27783 miles
30/ 03/ 94 - 30390 miles
The car was then purchased by Mrs. Hillier of Cullompton, Devon who kept the car until it was purchased by Mr. Hawkins of Exton, Devon from Carrs of Exeter when it also had the following service and stamp -
30/ 09/ 96 - 47763 miles
Mr Hawkins paid £11135 for the car having part-exchanged a much newer 1995 Volvo 440 for it.
Mr. Hawkins continued to have the car serviced at Carrs and not only collected the service stamps but kept every invoice for service and other work -
18/ 04/ 97 - 52721 miles
15/ 09/ 97 - 57338 miles
12/ 11/ 97 - 58924 miles
29/ 07/ 98 - 64293 miles
11/ 09/ 98 - 66447 miles
17/ 02/ 99 - 71465 miles
11/ 05/ 99 - 73828 miles
26/ 07/ 99 - 75417 miles
26/ 01/ 00 - 78268 miles
21/ 06/ 00 - 80646 miles
28/ 03/ 01 - 83265 miles
14/ 02/ 02 - 86567 miles
21/ 10/ 02 - 90339 miles
This last Mercedes bill was for £651 which probably prompted Mr. Hawkins to take the then 10 year old car out of the main dealer network.
The car continued to enjoy regular servicing and maintenance with invoices confirming the following work at Clyst Garage, Devon
24/ 04/ 03 - no miles
27/ 06/ 03 - 92957 miles
04/ 11/ 03 - 94847 miles
18/ 06/ 04 - 96821 miles
The car then returned to Carrs for a scheduled service -
28/ 10/ 2004 - 99014 miles
Since then the car has been maintained by Mark at the excellent Station Garage in Topsham, Devon -
22/ 06/ 05 - 101628 miles
30/ 03/ 06 - 103781 miles
05/ 06/ 06 - 104198 miles
03/ 11/ 06 - 105396 miles

26/ 06/ 14 - 124431 miles
12/ 05/ 15 - 124867 miles
The document folder also contains MOT certificates from 2004 to the present day.
Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins had to give up driving due to old age in December 2015 and I subsequently bought the car after it was offered for sale by Station Garage.
I have enjoyed using the Mercedes and have added 4500 to the mileage in the last 18 months to bring the total to 129600.
However the Barolo Red paint is now appearing flat on the bonnet, roof and bootlid and rust is appearing on the front wheel arches (see pics). Ideally it deserves to go to someone who has the time to fettle back to rude health as a future classic car with great provenance.
The Good Bits -
Great condition interior - back seats look like they have never been used.
Sunroof works great and there is no rust around it.
4 good Michelin energy saver tyres.
Original handbooks in great condition, 2 keys, keyfob, number plates and even an unopened first aid kit in the parcel shelf cubby!
Blaupunkt Montreal radio/ cassette
The Not So Good -
Paintwork on horizontal surfaces
Rear offside door is sticking shut
Alloys showing signs of wear
Front wings starting to rust (esp off-side)
I have just had the slave cylinder replaced due to a sinking clutch pedal.
Current MOT is until 14/ 12/ 17.
A real honest example of a useable classic from when Mercedes were hewn from granite, and a great basis for a light restoration.
