Hello everyone, in my quest to find a 50th birthday present for myself (hopefully a car from 1963), I have tripped over a very low mile and in excellent shape, 190E. I seen it in the paper and was curious so I called him. His grandmother purchased it new, then passed on and the car went to his Father, who never really drove it since about 2000. Only in the summer to "keep it running". It is in absolutely fantastic shape and most of it is just like brand new, in my opinion. It is silver with a blue Tex interior. The interior is at worst, a 9.5 out of 10 and the same with the exterior. It has never seen a Wisconsin winter outside and very rarely rain. There are just 3 little "door dings" or else the paint looks like brand new. It has had factory service up until about 29,000 miles and then local oil changes and tires since. The only things that I can find that don't work is the AC (of course) and the radio is "flaky"... you have to tap the buttons pretty hard, like they are not making contact or something but it turns on and off and the radio mast goes up and down as it should. It is raining here today so I do not have any pictures of it, I'm sorry but I will get them up in a couple of days. As I said before, I was NOT in the market for this but just couldn't let it pass into someones hands that wouldn't understand it like we all do. I have $4800 into it and have NOT registered it yet because I am not really driving it. I want to do a fluid check up before I put any real miles on it but after driving it about 100 miles home last week, it runs absolutely beautiful! This is one of those rare finds that I'm sure someone will love more than me and all I'm looking to do is to get it into one of our members hands instead of someone else. Please contact me here either by PM or email:
photomatt@newwis.com and I'll tell you everything about it.
Thanks, Matt
