1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E | Sunderland, Tyne & Wear

A 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E, the compact W201 saloon that gave Mercedes a smaller, rear-wheel-drive executive car. The 190E was the fuel-injected petrol model, offered with a wide spread of engines from four-cylinder cars up to a 2.6-litre six. This car is red with a black interior, a strong pairing that reads clearly on camera. Under the bonnet is the 2.6-litre six-cylinder petrol engine. Its straight-edged four-door body has a clear period outline from any angle. The 190E suits advertising, film and TV, and music video work set in the late 1980s or early 1990s, where a German executive saloon belongs in the frame. The red paint gives photography, fashion and editorial shoots a bold block of colour against urban or industrial backdrops. Weddings and events can use it as a smart, compact arrival car. It is based in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear.
