Conversation in the pub with Ian on one of his trips down South to see family: I said..... " Ive always wanted a 190e"
Two weeks later Ian ( I call him Barry, its a long story ;o)) phones me and says "Si Ive got you the perfect car, do you want it" It came out of the blue and I didnt really have the spare cash but it was to good to miss.
I visited 124 works a few weeks later to view my purchase and its a beauty
F plate 190e 2.6, 86K miles on the clock, spotless leather interior, a solid runner.
The guys at 124 works have already started to work on the car, its been off the road for 6 months so its needs a few jobs doing. Needless to say Ian has clearly listed whats required and the cost for each job, the "restoration" is progressing nicely and Im looking forwards to using in anger this year.
Thanks to Ian, Chris and the team at 124 works for sourcing such a solid car, their expertise and know how !
Many Thanks

. Lots of good people on this forum and lots of help if you need it. Now we have to get your FIL on here with his CLK 230K
) looked under and there is NO Rust at all!!! The only fault we could find is that the back box has split round the intake side of it. Whilst Si was there we fitted some lowering springs that once again we found on a shelf. Its a tad low so we will raise it a little. The car has working Cruise and Air Con. Wish it was mine. I am rather embarrased to state what it cost as it was a steal.
