Description
This 1988 Mercedes 190E 2.0 Auto presents in highly original condition and has covered just 35,650 miles from new. Before my ownership it had been with the same family since new.
Finished in an extremely rare colour combination with willow green paint and red velour upholstery, this is far from a typical cloth-spec 190E. The interior is a real highlight and immediately sets the car apart.
The rare factory specification includes:
Red velour seats and trim
Electrically adjustable front seats
Heated front seats
Climate control
Factory air conditioning
Cruise control
ABS braking system
Heated wing mirrors
Electric windows all round
This level of equipment is very uncommon on UK 2.0 models and gives the car a noticeably more premium feel than most examples on the market.
The exterior is straight and solid with excellent panel alignment. The paintwork presents well overall, with some light age-related marks consistent with a vehicle approaching 40 years old. It is clear the car has been carefully owned, with thousands spent on maintenance over its lifetime.
Inside, the velour upholstery remains in good condition with age related wear. The rear seats appear barely used. The dashboard, switchgear and wood trim remain original and well preserved, with a small crack to the dashboard a common age-related issue on cars of this era.
Mechanically, the car runs and drives exactly as a low-mileage example should. The automatic gearbox shifts smoothly, steering feels tight and composed, and the engine starts first time every time.
Supplied with original handbooks, service book and a substantial history file including supporting paperwork and invoices worth 1000s.
This is not a restored or modified car it is a genuine, usable modern classic that has been preserved rather than altered, and is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. It comes with 3 keys and videos of the vehicle available as request.
Happy to answer any questions.
