Description
1986 Mercedes 190E 2.3-16v Cosworth
HIGHLIGHTS:
A highly collectible Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16V Cosworth, finished in black, offered in running condition and stored after a paused restoration. The engine runs with stable temperature, while the exterior paint shows clear wear throughout, presenting an ideal starting point for a full cosmetic recommission. The car retains its unmistakable Cosworth proportions and presence, making it a compelling restoration candidate.
The interior remains complete and functional, featuring electric front seats, sunroof, and Tempomat cruise control. Both the driver and front passenger areas display noticeable wear consistent with age, offering a straightforward path for refurbishment while preserving the correct period layout and components.
Powered by the renowned M102 injection engine, this example is equipped with a factory 4-speed automatic transmission and central locking mechanism. Gear engagement is currently clunky, indicating mechanical sorting will be beneficial. With its correct Cosworth drivetrain and desirable factory options, this 190E is best suited for a knowledgeable collector seeking a transparent, restoration-ready example of an iconic Mercedes performance sedan.
