MODEL OVERVIEW

Mercedes-Benz followed the new 220 “fintail” models with a four-cylinder version to replace the old 180
series. The 190c and 190D (for diesel) were launched in April 1961 and would be produced until August
1965 before the first significant changes. The cabin and trunk were identical to the 220 fintail series but with
much less trim, Bakelite interior panels instead of wood, and non-reclining seats.

The front fenders were shorter than the 220, with single headlights on each side of the classic grille like the
Ponton model. Turn signals were on top of the fenders, ahead of the windshield, as on the earlier car.

The 190c proved very popular and 130,554 were sold by 1965, when the 90 bhp 1.9-liter OHC engine was
replaced by a five-bearing, 2.0-liter, twin-carburetor engine. The new 200 model developed 104 bhp, and
raised the top speed to 92 mph. It would be built until 1968.

The diesel-powered, 80 bhp 190D was the choice of taxi drivers across Northern Europe, and the larger
square trunk was much appreciated. Almost twice as many diesel-powered 190Ds were sold and 225,645
had left the factory by the end of 1965. The extra weight meant it wasn’t appreciably faster than the earlier
180 diesel, though, and it was somewhat thirstier. That said, it proved to be tough as nails, and during
extensive testing in Africa and across Europe a 190D averaged 35 mpg.

In 1962, both the gasoline and diesel 190 models gained front disc brakes, while coachbuilders Binz and
Meissen began to offer station wagons, first as ambulances and then as Kombi estate cars. Both were
fitted with larger 15-inch wheels. In late 1966 Mercedes-Benz contracted with IMA coachbuilders in Brussels
to offer station wagon variants of all the fintail models.

When the new 200 and 200D gained the aforementioned five-main bearing engine, a new 230 model was
created by fitting a six-cylinder, 2.3-liter engine in the short-nose design. It was the same thinking that went
into the six-cylinder 219, as a companion to the old 180 series. The 230 was deliberately plain, as the
companion 250S was the entry level version of the new S-Class.

The 200, 200D and 230 are easy to distinguish from earlier fintails, thanks to the combined front turn signals
and fog lights below the headlights. More comfortable seats were fitted to all three models, and chrome trim
added to the trunk lid and around the vents behind the side windows. As always, the 200D diesel outsold
the gasoline-powered model two-to-one. Many of the 161,618 200D’s became taxis, while 70,207 buyers
stepped up for the 200 gasoline model. The 230 caught on quickly with 40,258 units sold.

None of these models are all that collectible, but they provided millions of miles of dependable motoring.
The survivors continue to do so, and can be bought quite reasonably.

CURRENT & HISTORICAL VALUES

Prices assumes that no major modifications to the vehicle are present.

#1 Concours $27,100
Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best vehicle, in the right colors, driving onto the lawn at
the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the vehicle has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are
mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and materials used are correct and superbly fitted. The one word description for #1 vehicles
is "concours."

#2 Excellent $18,100
#2 vehicles could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 vehicles that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned
observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome,
glass and finishes will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate
from the engine. The vehicle will drive as a new vehicle of its era would. The one word description for #2 vehicles is "excellent."

#3 Good $11,800
#3 vehicles could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 vehicle, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a
fresh paint job or a new, correct interior where applicable. #3 vehicles drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts.
These vehicles are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will
not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 vehicle.

#4 Fair $7,800
#4 vehicles are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield
might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the body has a minor dent. Split seams or a cracked dash, where
applicable, might be present. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or other non-stock
additions might be present. A #4 vehicle can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4
vehicle.
