metallic violet!!
Yes. It was the "runout" model. Desirable because it was among the last 190,s manufactured. I think they were available in 2.0 and 1.8 litre 4 cylinder forms and had some electric "goodies" They came in a lurid metalic violet colour(VIOLAN 339) I think
but if you can stand that they would be a good buy probably.

They weren't all in that awful Violet colour, some were Almondine Met Red and some were Silver (grey).

Thank goodness for thatSwiss Toni said:They weren't all in that awful Violet colour, some were Almondine Met Red and some were Silver (grey).
Azzuro blue they call that purple colour, I think.
Almandine was a standard colour & one of the 4 colours 2.5-16s were availalble in, not an LE colour.
They did a v. rich metallic wine colour called Rosso Red & a bright silver, possibly Astral silver.

I'm thinking 2.3-16 - sold in smoke silver and blue black - yep
2.5-16 - sold in blue black, almandine and a different shade of silver to the earlier 2.3s (Astral?)
Were 2.5-16s definately available in two different silvers then - 'astral' and 'smoke'?

1. 8 hole alloys??
2. colour
3. four electric windows
4. walnut wood trim- darker brown wood trim than the normal ZEBRANO (more orange colour) prob most definitive test??
5. probably L reg
Failing this

if not then try puting your vin into one of the Russinan VIN SITES mentioned on this forum.

By the 190LE badge on the boot or the burr walnut instead of the zebrano. LE's originally came with a certificate so have a look in the documents
Interior should look like this
190le
Looks like my 190E just missed the LE list. It was registered in May 1993 and have the details as listed. It is in metallic Avantgarde Red and has an electric sunroof. I shall post a photo of it in the future and intend to sell it in a year's or two's time. So far it has about 54k on the clock and I am the third owner. Thank you all.
