FOR SALE: Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5 Cosworth 16v 1989

EQUIPMENT
Electric sunroof. Heated rear screen. Blaupunkt sound system. Front and rear electric windows. Spare wheel and Jack. First-aid kit. Lockable glove box. Spare key.

EXTERIOR
This Cosworth is finished in the timeless Astral silver paintwork. Under the glare of our studio lights the paint still shows a beautiful deep shine from all panels. On close inspection there are a few light stone chips to be found on the bonnet. however nothing unexpected for a car of this vintage.

Looking closely all the panels are straight and free from any dents or major scratches. The gleaming bodywork shows no signs of corrosion or bubbling whatsoever. and both bumpers are in good order with no unsightly scuffs to be found.

INTERIOR
Opening the door to the Cosworth you are presented with crisp half leatherette/checkered cloth seats throughout. The leatherette remains in excellent condition with only the slightest wrinkling to the bolsters. The cloth inserts are also in fantastic condition. still feeling firm with no wear or sagging whatsoever. With only the lightest of use over the years the rear seats are in particularly notable condition. Cast an eye over the dashboard and you'll notice a deep texture remains. unworn with no cracks or sun-damage to be found.

Pleasingly. the original Blaupunkt cassette player and speakers are still in place. Other details. such as the centre console lacquered wood trim. are in perfect condition. with the steering wheel and switchgear showing minimal wear. The carpet is protected in all foot-wells with black Mercedes over-mats and the boot area is clean and tidy. free from any damp. and still housing the spare wheel and jack.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Often these cars suffer from cold start problems but on this example the 2. 5-litre engine fires into life with the first turn of the key and ticks over smoothly.

The 190 is equipped with the desirable 5-speed dogleg gearbox. In operation it pulls through the gears as it should. handling the engines power perfectly.

WHEELS. TYRES & BRAKES
Sitting in the wheel arches are the original 15-inch Mercedes alloy wheels. all in unmarked condition. The wheels are shod in a matching set of Fulda tyres. all of which have plenty of tread remaining.

The brakes feel capable and strong. pulling the car up smoothly in a straight line. The discs. pads. and brake fluid were replaced around 7k miles ago.

HISTORY FILE
The Mercedes 190 Cosworth was first registered in August 1989 and sold through the supplying dealer Maloney & Rhodes Ltd to the first keeper. who owned the car for the next seven and a half years until 47k miles. The second keeper then pampered the car for the next 13 years. No less than 22 stamps can be found in the service booklet. with the last stamp from Mercedes Stratford at 114k miles in 2013. The car was most recently serviced in December 2014. with a £3k mechanical overhaul having been undertaken just seven months before.

In the history file. every MOT certificate has been kept since 1997 to help verify the mileage. as well as many invoices for service work and replacement parts also dating back to 1997. The Mercedes document holder is still present. containing all the owner's manuals and booklets. as well as the original sales brochure. All in all this Cosworth comes with a very comprehensive paper trail. a testament to how well the car has been kept throughout its life.
