Good luck with the 190E tommmmmmm. They are great cruisy cars. Mate of mine in Sydney was given he's grandfathers 190E - it had been barely used for 10 years or so. Everything was perfect on the car but the lack of use did start to show when it started to be used every day. Alternator, some wiring looms had perished and as rive gauche mentioned lots of small rubber parts and pipes started failing. BUT, this is just cautionary - it may be OK. Keep an eye out though and do as much as you can yourself. replacing rubber pipe work is easy when you follow the existing bits as a template. You're lucky you are in the UK as a there's a ready supply of parts here for cheap. Post a pic when you get it.
