Philipp Henke is a Founder and Owner of RPM Depot, the one-stop-shop for Mercedes 190E parts based in Germany. He has been a Mercedes enthusiast from an early age, developing a special interest in the W201 chassis with its 190E 16-valve models which were the base of Mercedes’ iconic DTM entries in the 80s and 90s. He first made a connection with old Mercedes vehicles as a child through his granddad, later taking up the classic car hobby himself. Through the years, this passion for the marque led him to launch a store focused on helping others with their classic Mercedes projects. At rpmdepot.de he offers parts for restorations, performance builds, and all out race cars. To date, RPM Depot parts have found their way into enthusiast vehicles from 50+ countries.
