That’s amazing in Jewish racing gold with a 90s car phone fitted I would say that’s living the dream imagine you could buy and sell shares and hold conference calls in your motor.

Mileage ain’t bad either and it looks straight apart from the drivers seat but I bet it’s possible to find a good secondhand one in charcoal grey or black.

[garethj]

I’ve seen the car they actually chose, I’ve been sworn to secrecy about details but I am happy to confirm it was driven around the block, driven to a petrol station and should have no problem making it all the way home.

 

What’s your eta chaps?

Give us a call and we'll tell you if you guessed the right car.

You bought the merc then. Bon chance!

The radio seems to have sunk but at least you're mobile.

[Guest Hooli]

Looks good

[Vince70]

That looks a fantastic buy and the Mot history doesn’t look bad either.

It’s never had any issues with rot.

The radio is installed upside down, sunk 5cm into the dash and doesn't work.

You should find a receipt from halfrauds for the install in the history then!

[pshome]

Love the phone. If these these really go for 1500£, then you made the deal of the century, but i doubt it.

Replacing a Mec with a Merc. Hmmmm

 

Please don't be a 4 pot 230

[Vince70]

That’s a bloody fantastic bargain and I’m so glad to see it ended well for you.

 

Jewish gold 190s are worth a few bob and trying to find a straight low mileage 190 for under a grand is like finding the holy grail.

And this one has higher mileage with a smaller lump.

[BorniteIdentity]

Very little wrong with the 230, it’s just a beefy 200 really and - whilst they don’t have the character of the 260 (my fave) or the 300 - they propel the car along just fine.

 

Supplies of these under £1000 are drying up now, especially with this sort of mileage.

 

In a perverse way, you may actually have won here. Well done to all involved!

It's a 4 pot 230. 127MPH top speed! Thanks, aerodynamics.

They’ve bought a w124 not a w201. So it isn’t a 190, it’s a 230e.

[Peter C]

Woo hoo!

 

You and me are the same.

[Peter C]

No rust ehh?

 

Good luck with that.

[Vince70]

Sorry I’m not up with my merc numbers

[BorniteIdentity]

Sorry I’m not up with my merc numbers

The naming convention was to not have a naming convention.

 

w201 is a 190 or 190e. E for Einspritzung which is German for Injection.

 

The larger cars are what became the, confusingly, E Class. However they didn’t start calling them the E230 or E260 until the early 90s. Before that the E came at the end of the number (230E) to designate the engine and a 230TE would be an estate.

 

Confused? Good. Me too.

The 230TE of this age is awful, the gearing is just wrong, ratios just feel too short & 70 is surprisingly high on the revs, when I drove my mates, it did feel like it needed another cog in the box. He did manage to grenade it after fixing the blown headgasket, christ knows what he did, but the camshaft snapped clean in two, he's a bus fitter, and managed to blow up a Volvo 240, and a Land Rover Discovery 200TDi, that he melted a piston on when it boiled. 

[Ghosty]

You're all calling it JRG, and the colour is named Smoke Silver! Old Man used to have a 190E the same colour.

[richardmorris]

The radio is installed upside down, sunk 5cm into the dash and doesn't work.

Get a refund!

 

Actually if you like. I have the radio that came in my w124 when I bought it, it’s not original but a Sony xplod tape deck with drop down front panel. It worked and is free to collect.

 

I wired the dab unit into my car easily enough, so this one can’t be that hard to fix.

[davocano]

I've been dipping in and out of this thread all day and it's left me feeling exhausted! Gawd only knows how the two real-life participants are faring.

 

umpteen/10

[Squire_Dawson]

Given previous GGG collections, this seems to be in keeping with general themes, so may we consider it a roaring success? All that's missing is a breakdown on the homeward trip.

[eddyramrod]

They're not home yet....

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

No, but we were just welcomed info the North by a big smoky moor fire.
