1989 (G) Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16v Cosworth

With a Cosworth engine, sporty handling and motorsport credentials courtesy of Ayrton Senna, this UK-supplied 1989 Mercedes Cosworth 190E 2.5 16v is truly a sight to behold, having recently undergone a significant mechanical & cosmetic restoration totalling nearly £30k.

Featured in both Classic And Sportscar, and Classic Cars magazines, the car has covered a mere 94k miles and has had only 4 previous owners. It presents beautifully! Perfect paint and chrome, with newly refurbished alloy wheels. The typically Mercedes leather interior wears its age well, showing only a very mild patina. All switch gear and electrical elements are fully operational, including the original Becker cassette radio. But it’s not just cosmetically that this car impresses.

The underneath of the car has also been attended to, ensuring that the new owner has no concerns regarding the normal issues often associated with this model. The suspension have also been overhauled. Mechanically, the car wants for nothing. Most recently the car was fully serviced with new timing chain and tensioner. The historical service history is well documented, with 14 stamps in the original service book.

Turn the key, select the dogleg first gear, feed the smooth clutch, and the car behaves exactly as it should. The steering is precise, the gear-change is positive with good synchros.

This remarkable car is supplied with a significant history file, to include two keys and the original Mercedes book pack and manuals, a plethora of invoices, copies of the magazine features, and much more.
