Description

Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Cosworth UK-Supplied RHD | 5-Speed Dog-Leg Manual | 135,000 Miles A rare opportunity to purchase a UK-supplied, right-hand-drive Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Cosworth, presented in what I believe is one of the very best colour and interior combinations: black exterior paintwork with the iconic checked cloth and black leather sports interior. Car was purchased car in 2018 from an 87-year-old gentleman who was no longer permitted to drive. We bought it as a long-term keeper and had never intended to sell it. The car has covered approximately 135,000 miles, supported by a substantial history folder, stamped service book, original handbook pack and an extensive collection of previous MOT certificates. The mileage is supported by the available MOT and service history, and the vehicle is HPI clear. A fresh MOT was completed today. The car remains fully standard in its factory specification, including its original side skirts, body kit, wheels, suspension and drivetrain. The only changes are a Pioneer Bluetooth stereo and an aftermarket alarm and immobiliser. Two sets of keys are supplied. the original side skirts and body kit were carefully removed so the areas behind them could be properly cleaned and polished before being refitted. The car has been garaged and maintained as a usable classic rather than simply stored away. The Getrag five-speed manual gearbox features the correct dog-leg first-gear layout. All gear-linkage components and bushes have been replaced during my ownership, greatly improving the precision of the gear change. The hydraulic self-levelling rear suspension is fully operational and works exactly as it should, which is an important feature of these cars and one that is often no longer functioning on other examples. Factory equipment includes: Electric windows all round Factory air conditioning Working lap-timer/stopwatch display Hydraulic self-levelling rear suspension Getrag five-speed dog-leg manual gearbox Original 2.5-16 body kit and side skirts Original checked sports interior The lap-timer display remains fully operational, which is increasingly unusual on these cars. The factory air-conditioning system is present but is currently not working and will require investigation. The car is supplied with: Stamped service history Original handbook pack Large folder of service and maintenance records Extensive previous MOT history Two sets of keys Alarm and immobiliser Pioneer Bluetooth stereo HPI-clear status Fresh MOT Considerable time, care and money have been spent maintaining and improving the car throughout my ownership. It is not being described as a concours or freshly restored example, but as an honest, original and very usable classic that can be driven and enjoyed. The 190E 2.5-16 remains one of Mercedes-Benz's most iconic performance saloons, combining distinctive 1980s styling, Cosworth-developed cylinder-head technology, a dog-leg manual gearbox and sophisticated self- ALL CARS COME WARRANTED WITH THE OPTION TO EXTEND FOR UP TO 3 YEARS AT A LOW COST.
