Mercedes-Benz - 190E Cabriolet AKH CARO - 1989

Mercedes-Benz - 190E Cabriolet AKH CARO from 1989 in good overall condition. The car has original Italian RM plates.
Car of German origin with dual PETROL/LPG fuel.
\r
One of the rare 190 Es produced in miniseries under authorization from Mercedes, by the German tuner AKH-CARO.
There is no precise number on the creation of these special 190E Cabriolets, but various sources speak of just 14 cars built.
\r
As reported in the declaration accompanying the proposed car, this 190E was subjected by AKH-CARO to various modifications and reinforcements to the floor before going out on the road, which required a lot of development time, resulting in very high costs.
\r
This would be the reason why the 190E Cabrio was never mass produced.
Consequently, to this day this version remains a special out-of-series, ideal for collectors looking for rare objects produced in limited series.
