1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E | Basildon, Essex

A 1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E, the compact executive saloon that brought Mercedes quality to a smaller, rear-wheel-drive package. The 190 E is the fuel-injected petrol version of the W201 range, known for its neat, upright saloon shape. This one has the 1.8-litre engine. This car is finished in green with a grey interior, a calm pairing that sits easily against brick, concrete or leafy locations. Its straight sides and upright glasshouse give clean lines for photography, and its period shape suits advertising, fashion and editorial work, and film and TV scenes set in the late 1980s or 1990s. It also works as a background car for music videos and events. Weddings and personal hires are well served by its understated, formal look. The car is based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.
