Rock Solid: A Mercedes-Benz 190 D Model From UK Celebrates A Major Milestone

While travelling on the M40, a journey it has done literally hundreds of times, Mr & Mrs Lipscomb鈥檚 20 year old Mercedes-Benz 190D 2.5 reached a significant milestone - 250,000 miles - and what an interesting journey it鈥檚 been. Since the introduction of the 190 in 1982 - the progenitor of today鈥檚 C-Class - the Mercedes-Benz compact saloon has been one of the most innovative and best-selling models in the company鈥檚 range. With over 8.5 million models sold over the last 29 years, its success has been rooted in delivering Mercedes-Benz core values of peerless engineering, understated styling, cutting edge technology and four-season dependability. The 190D is well known for its extreme reliability and ruggedness doing many miles without any major work. 鈥淎t the time the 190D was the best car around for our needs and it has been totally reliable ever since. We have always found Mercedes-Benz to be the first to have the best technology, one of our favourites was the introduction of air-conditioning!

鈥淚 want to say a big, big thank you to the team today. The car worked a treat in all conditions, and we made all the right strategy calls. 鈥淲e deserved this win and it felt great to stand alongside my race engineer Dave (Robson) on the occasion of his first appearance on the podium. 鈥淭he race was a brilliantly eventful one. I had a good battle with Lewis when we were running one-two. We were both driving on the limit and the gap ebbed and flowed, depending on the traffic. 鈥淚t was good fun and I was sorry that we weren鈥檛 standing up there on the podium together at the end of it all. This was the perfect way to celebrate my 200th Grand Prix, and the team can enter the summer break with a spring in its step. 鈥淲e know we have a good car, so let鈥檚 enjoy our holidays and come back even stronger at Spa-Francorchamps.

鈥淏ig congratulations to Jenson. He pushed me hard and he deserved to win the race. I felt sorry for the team that we didn鈥檛 get a one-two, but at least one of us got the victory. 鈥淭he car felt very good to drive today. I think the cooler conditions helped us, but the team has done a fantastic job to get us where we are. We鈥檝e now won two races in the space of a week, which is a great way to enter the summer break. 鈥淚鈥檓 disappointed in myself for spinning. I had to do a doughnut to get myself facing the right way and that forced Paul (di Resta) onto the grass, which is why I got the drive-through penalty. 鈥淲hat a way for Jenson to celebrate his 200th Grand Prix! Those were very, very difficult conditions this afternoon, and it was easy to get it wrong, but Jenson drove a great race. 鈥淗is measured yet combative drive was a testament to how naturally smooth and smart he is on the racetrack, and he really deserved this win. 鈥淟ewis was in the pits six times this afternoon and he got his drive-through penalty for putting Paul on the grass. He鈥檒l be disappointed because he鈥檇 like to have been standing on the top step of the podium alongside Jenson, but he accepted his penalty well. He kept his cool and overtook another couple of cars as a result. 鈥淗is resulting fourth place gave him - and us - 12 valuable world championship points. This was McLaren鈥檚 10th win in Hungary - a record - and it comes on the back of Lewis鈥檚 win in Germany last weekend. 鈥淲e鈥檝e won three of the past five Grands Prix, and have scored 119 world championship points over the same period. The team can now take a well-deserved break before attacking the second half of the season.
