Stock 190 merc wanted

[FredTransit]

For a drama doc set in 1987. Filming is in West London early August, so time for me to find one, woo hoo (for a change).Sorry I don't want anything that's been hit with the stick or blingin wheels.

I think most of the remaining 190s in the country will be in the scrap line behind franchised dealers

Or running 22" rims and asphalt scrapping suspensions.

There's a gorgeous white 190D on an 'E' plate near where I work - for sale with a full test for £495. And completely standard.

Where is that? Not that I want to buy it, but would they rent?

It the mercedesness integral to the plot?Can do you a lovely standard '88 BMW 3-series, bonus of already being NW london based

[FredTransit]

As it's a drama doc, yes, cos the car was a white 190 the assassin made off in.

SS11 8DH, Essex.I'd buy it, but I have no monies at present.Will try to get a pic soon.

Just noticed the D bit, they might have to dub on a sportier engine! Still, on the plus side it should run on veg oil....

[FredTransit]

On further diggin over on the 190 forum, it seems the car I was asked for has been given the wrong model. This is the example pic I was sent, described as a 190

 

 

Can anybody help?

[GrumpyOldMan]

Fred, the '190' in the last picture is actually a pre-facelift E-class (W124).

[FredTransit]

You see, this merc thing is making my head hurt! If I told production that, they would say no, we want a 190 . Anybody out there got a car like the one in the picture?

[autohausdolby]

This is of no help whatsoever, but I've got a grey blue metallic W124 like the one in the picture and my best mate has a wierdly light purple metallic base model

[FredTransit]

Grey blue might be possible, got any pics please? you do know the shoot is in London don't you?

[Cavcraft]

I have a black one currently running on AMG reps and with clear side/rear repeaters and smoke drear lights but could probably get it back to standard without too much agro.If that's no good pm me when you get five, I have a few contacts with 190Es from standard to mad!

[FredTransit]

PM sent

[autohausdolby]

It's got the wrong wheels and is a late car, but they all look the same to Joe public. It's not very white though Fred.

 

[FredTransit]

Hmmm, they did say pale. I find out if they would go another shade, something darker.

[autohausdolby]

YES! Check that extra mirror for added points!

[FredTransit]

I am liking that, just depends if they do! Do you have a number for it? PM please!

[pandamonium]

I'll get the number tomorrow, but there was a bloke in a Discovery was giving it a good look over as I drove past this evening.
