Mercedes in the 1980s had a pretty good idea of what their cars should be. Well built, dependable, comfortable cars presented as a convertible, saloon, estate or maybe even a coupe if you’re feeling adventurous. They weren’t boring exactly, but not many people had their pants set alight by the W126 S-class, despite its excellence. And oh yeah, they also made this… This is the story of the Mercedes 190E 2.5 16 Evo 2.

If this video feels familiar, its not deja vu. Just over a year ago I published a video about this car, however the information in it was fundamentally flawed, and it has since been unlisted (it can be found here: https://youtu.be/6GzkK9f707w ). This video uses parts of the original script, but large sections have been re-written to fix inaccuracies and better tell the story of this legendary machine.
