Mercedes 190e 2.5 16v Cosworth 1989 RHD Manual For Sale

I have owned this wonderful classic for over 4 years, but sadly the time has now come to find a new loving home for her.
She was not in the condition she is today when purchased, I have spent a lot of time and money getting her to how she sits today.
The tired car i purchased still had a lot going for it, this is a genuine Cosworth with only 4 previous owners (titled first owner), stacks of service history and is fully hpi clear.
Mot to 26th june 2023 with no advisories.
Original rhd car with manual getrag dogleg gearbox.

Most of the work was carried out by a highly recommended classic car restoration workshop. All rust issues were addressed correctly with either new mercedes panels or by being cut out and fabricated, there are no patches on this car.

The interior is in excellent condition but did require some attention-
Lap timer and outside temperature display have been refurbished.
Rear window motors and regulators refurbished.
Heater motor replaced.

Structurally the boot floor was replaced with genuine panels, jacking points repaired and any other rust correctly repaired. I have photos to document the work.

The full braking system has been overhauled, new flex pipes, hard lines, callipers etc.

Any suspension components that required attention were replaced.

The engine has had a full service and some fuel injection components overhauled. She starts first time and pulls well with a nice 80's rasp from the exhaust. She is a little hesitant when cold but soon clears and flew through the mot emissions test.

4 new bridgestone tyres have been fitted.

New windscreen.

2 keys and working central locking.
Period mercedes radio/ cassette fitted but not working.

The respray was carried out approx 2 years ago and really makes this old merc look new again, it's not concours but you would have to be really picky not to be impressed. Has been recently detailed.

There are still a few things that could be improved, there is no such thing as a perfect car in my opinion.
The engine bay could do with a clean up and detail.
Tracking needs checking as it's not been checked since the restoration.

As you would expect most of the service history is from early in it's life. The first titled owner kept the car for over 10 years and had all work carried out at the mercedes dealership. I have the original receipt for the car from Dicksons of Perth for £31000 on 23/ 8/ 1989. Most previous mot's and repair receipts are in the history file.

The registration number GOI242 stays with the car, it's been on it for so long i couldn't bring myself to take it off. It's part of it's history.

Viewing is essential as everyone's opinions vary but i think it would be very hard to find a genuine, hpi clear, solid cosworth with low owners and an advisory free mot.

If you would like to view please contact me via email, I am in the north-east just outside Darlington.
