    I know these are a darling of TCL, so when I came across it this morning while searching for e30s, I thought, hey, why not. People post a lot more stupid things on here!

    Ugly color, but it looks to be in pretty fine shape..

    I like the color. Very stately and under the radar.

    THat thing is in perfect condition
    R...E.....shut up we get it....

    I either carry my XD-45 or Kel-Tec .380. Depends on what I'm wearing... the XD-45 is a little large to conceal when wearing shorts. Extra ammo in a backpack in the trunk. Those goddamned zombie bastards aren't going to kill themselves. That's why. - medicracer

    Honestly, was that car stored in a bubble? Amazing condition!

    Drove one of these for a whole day earlier in the winter.

    I LOVE the transmission. That dog-leg setup makes soooo much sense.

    this is finny picture:

    A friend of mine spent several years looking for the perfect 190E 16V. He paid a lot of money for it and spent several more years displaying his car at concours d'elegance events. Once he had a room full of trophies he retired the car. It was too nice to drive but there was no more enjoyment in trying to win any more shows. One day he discovered a derelict 190E 16V parked behind a townhouse on Capitol Hill. After some negotiation, he was able to purchase the vehicle for $200 and had it running strong with less than $1,000 total invested in it. He promptly sold his 190E 16V show car and is now planning to take his beater to the track for some fun.

    Does he want another one? I have a friend in the DC area trying to sell his beat Euro 190E-2.3L 16v.

    Hey now - MB was an innovator of "champagne" or "smoke silver" long before it became the colour of choice for anonymity...

    If I had the funds, I so rock that. Impressive shape for the miles.

    The condition is VG but no more impressive than a friend's car (not the Euro) with over 200K on the clock that is in better condition - no split seams in the interior.

    Way too cool. That's my car! I did a search on google for it by only listing search results from last week. Thanks to those who complimented it. I hate to see it go, but I have other car projects always in the works. Funny thing is I went to register on this forum to reply and it said I was already a member....I have no idea when I registered.....and no idea why it is under 1.6beetle. Although I sold a bug for a friend about 8 yrs ago. Anyway, if anyone has questions about the car feel free to ask.

    Thanks
