timeless auto's

The Mercedes Benz 190E was once at the top of the sport saloon world. Although it would be replaced in 1993 by the C class, the almost unknown 190 E cossowrth will always have a place on the roads of any era. Production of the 190 ended on May 5, 1993. About 1.8 million were produced. It was replaced by the C class. The 190 is considered by some to be a classic car, there are a number of owners clubs. Inspite of their age many 190's can still be seen on rodes today.
