1988 Mercedes Benz 190E Cosworth 2.3 W201
HIGHLIGHTS:
Presenting a fully restored 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16V Cosworth, an iconic homologation-era sports sedan rebuilt with care, originality, and tasteful enhancements. This legendary Cosworth-powered 190E has undergone a comprehensive rejuvenation, retaining its fully restored original high-revving 2.3L Cosworth engine while benefiting from a complete mechanical overhaul to ensure it performs exactly as Mercedes and Cosworth intended. With its balanced chassis, motorsport pedigree, and unmistakable 80s character, this is a rare opportunity to own a revitalised classic.
The exterior has been completely repainted in its original factory colour, presenting beautifully with crisp lines and clean bodywork. It sits on 17” original Carlsson rims, complemented by an AMG front lip, carbon spoiler extension, and rear window carbon cover, enhancing its period-correct yet sporty appearance. The restoration preserves its authentic Cosworth personality while adding subtle visual upgrades for a more purposeful stance.
Inside, the cabin has been meticulously refreshed with a blend of originality and modern convenience. It features an AMG Atiwe steering wheel, original Cosworth seats newly covered in black leather, individual rear seats, and extensive carbon-fibre interior accents. Comfort and practicality are upgraded with cool air-conditioning, electric front seats with memory, electric windows, electric sunroof, reverse camera, parking sensors, AMG meter gauge, and a full lock alarm system. Offered with complete documents, this restored 190E Cosworth is ready for the road and ready for a new enthusiast.
The odometer reads 131,398 km.
