92 Mercedes 190E 2.5 16V EVO

GERMAN M3 · 07-27-2020, 09:36 PM

Hey Folks,
Just wanted to take this opportunity and share some pics of Eine Legende from the Deutsche Touring Meisterschaft in the early 90's. This Legend dominated the 92 season, and gave BMW a run for its money. This fine example is number 276 of 500.
My friend Chris, who owns Carcaveusa in Aiken, South Carolina was fortunate enough to source this vehicle and sell it. I will attach a link to his website below so that you can see more images of this vehicle, and other various vehicles that he is selling and that he has sold. I believe he is in the process of sourcing and purchasing an e34 M5 wagon. As soon as I get some pics I will share. Thanks for taking the time to look, and feel free to contact Chris if you need help with possibly sourcing a vehicle. Now for the pics. Apologies for the iPhone pics. This vehicle deserves so much better as far as photo quality is concerned.

Ask for Chris for further assistance.

Wow! That is absolutely gorgeous! I love the boxy Benz's.

No doubt. As much as I love BMW's and the e30 M3.....the EVO in my opinion is on par with the e30 as far as looks are concerned.

I got the chance to get very familiar with one of these evo2's for a simulator, really really love the design.

A Mercedes with a manual tranny! Not something you see every day!

The 190E with a manual was fairly okay. My dad has an SLK 320 manual and it's a terrible thing.

Awesome find. “Call for price”, but I’m guessing he wants over $200k for it?

I also like the other Evo in his inventory (the Lancia Delta Integrale)

Hey Darth....
Definitely an awesome and rare find. Spoke to Chris and the car sold for $214,800 and is being delivered to Miami. I'm sure the new owner is going to love it. Yeah, that Delta is a fantastic automobile as well.....a great example of automotive history when it comes to the World Rally Championship.

Almost bought a 190e 16v last year, then I drove it for the very first time. I don't quite fit in it, there's a panel under the dash that pretty much limits my movement with my shoes. I was bummed.

GenXer · 07-30-2020, 12:39 PM

Very sexy shape for it's era. Lots of fun. But you have to look over that crappy interior. The rear door cards will swell up especially at the arm rest. This would happen even when it was relatively new.

Gray_Panther · 08-06-2020, 06:15 AM

I still miss my family's 190 2.3
It had over 330k miles on it on original clutch and transmission. The thing was rock solid reliable and never needed repairs outside of basic maintenance.

If I had that kind of money to throw at a car, that would be my absolute number one choice!
Thanks for posting my favorite variant of the 190E, my favorite Benz of all time!

Senna in a 190E, he was racing in one back in the 80s

Yes Sir Nicky.....Dad had an 87 190e while he was stationed in Germany. Once a week he would allow me to drive it to school. It was about a 20-25 minute ride one way with about 15 minutes of it being all autobahn. Some great memories, and some great driving.

The Good Ol Days.

One of my favorites too. Definitely too expensive for me but I'm sure you can get a body kit and make a normal 190e look the part.
