Concours / Show & Shine1989★ Top BenzW201
This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.0 is a Carat Duchatelet edition, a limited coachbuilt variant produced by the Belgian customisation house Carat Duchatelet, which worked with Mercedes-Benz to offer factory-adjacent interior and exterior upgrades on the W201 platform.
The car is powered by the standard M102 E20 four-cylinder engine and remains in largely original condition, reflecting its Survivor classification. It is based in Denver, Colorado.
Entered in the Concours and VIP categories, the car is noted for its presentation rather than mechanical modification. Details of any coachbuilder-specific appointments fitted to this particular example are not currently documented in the registry.
Your car belongs in this registry. 375 of the 500 founding files are still open, numbered in order of intake.

Corvette powered Mercedes 190e?! Coming to you in the near future. Got a better ideas for an engine swap? Drop your suggestions in the comments. The Mercedes is still on the boat and should be arriving soon, part 3 of this series will go live once it is state side, until then I hope you enjoy these small intermissions. 🫂 #mercedes #ls #190e #engineswap

The import duties on my 190E just came back. Here’s the number nobody could agree on in the comments. Part 2 of shipping my Mercedes from the UK to the USA - the paperwork, the broker, and what the US government actually charged me. Still think it was worth it? Watch to the end. #mercedes #190e #shippingcars #classiccar #carreels

I paid over $5000 to ship my Mercedes from the UK to the USA and that’s not even the scary part. I’ll be breaking down the line for line cost and process behind shipping a car internationally so you can do it too! Think you have a guess on the import fees? Drop it in the comments. 👇 #mercedes #190e #shippingcars #classiccar #ᴄᴀʀʀᴇᴇʟs

34 years and she finally made it back home. Drove her back to the @caratduchatelet headquarters in Liège, Belgium, couldn’t think of a more fitting moment. Got to meet the current CEO and Owner and have him sign the car. Bucket list moment, check. #Belgium #AutomotiveHistory #bucketlist #classiccar #mersedes_benz

Bricked up
The Carat Duchatelet Mercedes 190e is a rare, highly customized version of the classic W201 chassis, transformed by the Belgian firm Carat Duchatelet into a luxury vehicle with extensive body kits (widebody, unique bumpers, skirts, spoilers), opulent interiors (fine leather, woodwork, mini-bars, TVs, phones), and often enhanced performance, making them unique icons of 80s and 90s automotive excess. These weren’t just body kits but full luxury conversions, rivaling tuning houses like AMG or Brabus for the 190e.

Blacked out
There's no feeling quite like browsing through a shop, picking up a magazine, and finding your car featured on one of its pages. Wouldn't be here without @classicretromodern for the feature and @primefilmsstudio & @rocketrossi for their fantastic camera work.
