HEAD TURNER, GENUINE, ORIGINAL MERCEDES BENZ 190E 2.3L 16 CARLSSON EVO II
Entire history since BRAND NEW.
STREET LEGAL. TITLED.


This is my personal vehicle, from my collection and have used it in Europe.

I imported the car and went through the tedious and complicated work of making the car US legal, so you won't have to do it and got it registered in the USA, meaning I have a clean and clear Title on hand under my name and made it legal in all 50 States .
I have already imported some of my cars from my personal collection and they were sold within few days.

I am NOT like the competition who buys their cars overseas, without seeing them, without knowing their history, without any track record.
I have owned each and every single cars you will see. Meaning, I have had them Titled under my personal name before coming to the US.
ALL my cars have very low original miles, mostly with documentations, mostly with their original books and kept in meticulous condition.
Since my last sale here on Ebay, I have had lots of inquiries for the upcoming cars.
Collectors, enthusiastic persons are waiting to put their hands on those very rare cars.
Their value are increasing and as of today, there is NOT an other car like this one in the US.


It's a very rare car in Europe and unique in the US.
It features a very rare factory CARLSSON EVO II body style.... ONLY 100 made.
None like this one around. No chances to see an other one. Your chance to own it.

Disclaimer: Ebay does not recognize the 17 digit VIN for this European car. As shown on the Title and stamped on the chassis, the number is WDB2010341F219670.
