The W110 'Fintail' was a line of midsize cars developed by Mercedes-Benz in the mid-1960s. They were introduced with the 190c and 190Dc saloon in April 1961, replacing the W120 180c/180Dc and W121 190b/190Db and was the first series of Mercedes-Benz cars to be extensively crash tested for occupant safety. The body was derived from the W111 series but with a 145mm shorter nose and rounded headlights, although the rear end was identical to the W111 220b. The interior layout and dimensions were also identical to the W111 220b but with fewer options such as fixed back seats and bakelite trim on the dashboard. Because the 190c and 190Dc models were basically a W111 220b with a shorter front, they offered the same interior and luggage space as the W111 series but with smaller and more fuel efficient engines.
We are delighted to present this 1965 first series (1961-1965), Mercedes-Benz 190c Heckflosse, or Fintail as it is commonly known. The prominent white coachwork, with its elegant fins and curvaceous bonnet is in very good order and is complemented by the contrasting red M-B Tex interior, noted for its comfort, space and vertically designed odometer. In the rear, the occupants also benefit from the additional seat belts; an important safety factor today. We are told the car pulls well with gear changes transmitted through the automatic gearbox and the brakes, with discs at the front and drums at the rear, perform well. This right hand drive example was first registered in Copthorne, Sussex on 6th April 1965, to a Mr Herbert Victor White as noted on the original logbook. The accompanying history file includes records of works totalling in the region of £7,500 in 2017, the original green log book, old MoT test certificates, a current MoT test certificate valid until October 2025, a UK V5 registration document, letters of correspondence and a copy of an article featuring this 190c in Classic Mercedes Magazine.
These classic Mercedes-Benz motor cars are now being recognised in a market where it is becoming ever more difficult to find good examples of the marque at reasonable prices. With comfort and space, especially in view of the enormous boot space, commanding grille and acres of brightwork, we are sure that this Fintail will find a lucky new owner to enjoy the classic Mercedes-Benz experience and ideal for Goodwood (picnic hamper not included).
