Mercedes-Benz : 190-Series 2.5-16v

Up for Sale is my Rare 1989 Mercedes Benz 190 e 2. 5-16 v Cosworth

It is now 25 years old so it may be easier to import this vehicle to the United States -*CHECK YOUR IMPORT LAWS*

This vehicle was imported from Japan to Canada a few years ago. It is a LEFT HAND DRIVE RARE 190 e 2. 5-16 v model that was never offered for sale in North America. Only the 2. 3-16 v was offered in North America. This car was my daily driver up until last September and it was put under storage. I bought this car with the idea of bringing it back to its original beauty. but things have changed and this would be a great project for somebody with the time.

The engine starts and runs well but definitley needs some TLC and needs a good tune up. The car looks like it was re-painted Silver some time ago. No accidents while in Canada that I'm aware of. looks like the front passenger side may have been previously hit when in Japan. as there is some evidence of some bodywork in the inner engine compartment by the front right shock.

Defects include: Cracked Tailight and Headlight. sunroof does not open. A/C is not working may need a recharge. muffler slightly rattles. car sits pretty low and may need tweak and or install better suspension. rust spot rear quarter panel. crack in dashboard. lap timer not working. leaks some oil. and rear auto defogger does not work.

Currently 221. 97 kms or 137. 61 miles

This car is rare and it holds a unique racing history it competes directly with BMW's e 30 M 3 and we all know how much those are selling for.

Very much a collectible item needing someone to bring it back to show condition. A great & rare opportunity to own a future classic! The 2. 3-16 v are getting more & more difficult to find. let alone a 2. 5-16 v version that was NEVER sold in North America is really special! If you're looking for a unique project that screams classic Mercedes Benz this is it! Good Luck and happy bidding!
