1992 Mercedes 190E, W201, 1.8 (1797cc) - MOT Failure For Sale

I've owned this car for approximately 18 months - I've always loved these "Baby Benz" - Its a really lovely retro drive and always bring a smile to my face, engine runs sweet

I originally bought this as something to do at the weekends and lockdown has given me lots of time to work on the car however I have just bought myself a new daily drive that I am more interested in and have lost interest with this one :-(

Most of the bodywork rust has been treated, it's been sprayed and lacquered but needs finishing/ polishing

It has recently failed it's MOT due to a small amount of corrosion on the underside of the body, see pic. I have also included a picture of the jacking point in front of the corrosion which shows that the corrosion has not gone through to the sills. I have had all the plastic trim off the car previously and all jacking points/ sills are in good condition

The MOT tester did say that the car was in good condition for a 28 year old car and the only reason that it failed was because the corrosion, although not structural, is within 30cms of a suspension structure

If the welding was completed this would be a reliable daily driver and rolling restoration - there are bits and pieces that need to be dealt with but they can all be done as and when.
