1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E | Wakefield, West Yorkshire

A 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E, the compact W201 saloon that brought executive-class engineering to a smaller, neater car. It is rear-wheel drive and was offered with a wide spread of engines, from four-cylinder cars up to the six-cylinder 2.6. This car is red with a grey interior, a bold body colour paired with a calm, understated cabin. Its 2.6-litre engine is the larger six-cylinder option in the 190E line. It has four seats, and its upright, square-cut 1980s lines give a clear period look without crowding the frame. The straight-edged body suits advertising, photography and fashion and editorial shoots set in the late 1980s or early 1990s. It also gives film and TV and music video work a believable period saloon, and the red stands out against city streets and industrial backdrops. Weddings and personal hires are covered too. The car is based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
