No rust or damage; an exterior detailing would likely elevate it to show-worthy standards. The underside is Waxoyl treated, maintaining a rust-free and solid foundation.

Every detail in this vehicle reflects a commitment to cleanliness and care, even the seat-back storage nets are tight and not sagging like usually the case. Original first aid kit, tool kit, booklet pack all present. // DRIVING GEAR: On the road there are no issues to report. The car drives exactly as it should and feels tight and solid with no knocks or rattles. Under the hood, this is the fuel-injected 190E equipped with the ultra-reliable 2.0-litre M102.962 four cylinder engine. Despite being 30+ years old the car continues to impress, offering superb driving dynamics with more than sufficient power and comfort to navigate today's roads. The four-speed automatic transmission has been well maintained with gearbox oil changes at 70k and 85k miles. // EXTRAS: This vehicle is the 190LE, a limited edition model for UK and Ireland with only 1,000 units produced for the 1993 model year, marking the conclusion of the 190's impressive 11-year production legacy.
