Vehicle Description
Want to own a piece of Motown History? What we have here is James
Browns personal car, a 1992 Mercedes-Benz 190E. Yes, that James
Brown, the Godfather of Soul Music and The Sex Machine. This was
Browns personal car from 1993 until 2002 when it was passed down to
his granddaughter. It was purchased from his estate shortly after
Browns death in 2006. The compact executive sedan was then
relocated to the Augusta Museum of History in Georgia, alongside a
singed guitar. This car is not just a piece of automotive history,
but also of music history.
Dressed in Black Pearl (code DB199), the cars paint and trim are in
great condition overall. The bodywork is straight and solid and the
cargo area looks great. The Benzs body-colored bumpers fit tightly
to the body. This Benz rolls on Uniroyal Tiger Paw radials, size
P195/60R15 at all four corners. Each one rides on a factory alloy
wheel. The wheels are in good, original order while the tires are
in very good order.
Under the hood is an eight-valve version of the 2.3L four-cylinder
engine (code M102.985) with a Remus exhaust and Bosch KE-Jetronic
fuel injection. Backing this motor is a four-speed automatic
transmission (code W4A 020) with a limited-slip differential. The
ASD is an electronically controlled, hydraulically locking
differential which activates automatically when required. The
electronic control allows varied amounts of differential lock from
the standard 15 percent right up to 100 percent. It is not a
traction control system however and can only maximize traction
rather than prevent wheel spin. As expected, driver convenience
features are long on this car air-conditioning(blows, but not
cold), power rack-and-pinion steering, power four-wheel disc
brakes, power windows, power locks, power sideview mirrors, cruise
control and power front seats.
Inside, the cars black leather interior is great, as is the
matching carpeting. The headliner is a contrasting gray. The big
steering wheel is ready for a new road trip. The instrument panel
and inner door liners are all in very good order and the dash has
full instrumentation. The center console and console shifter look
great. An aftermarket AM/FM stereo with CD player rounds out the
interior. James Brown has more No. 1 hits than anyone except Elvis
Presley. His chart toppers include, I Feel Good, Papa's Got a Brand
New Bag, Say it Loud and Sex Machine. Just feel the excitement and
rhythm when you sit behind the wheel of this feel good machine. A
collection of James Brown CDs, posters, photos, etc. included. A
beautiful, personally autographed guitar is also included.
Competition to this Mercedes in 1992 includes Acuras Integra, BMWs
318i, Chryslers LeBaron, Infinitis G20 and Lexus ES 300. If you
really want a piece of rolling music history, you should stop by
