Presenting a fine example of Mercedes' brilliant 190E, the original 'baby Merc' compact saloon, launched in 1982 and famously described as "massively over-engineered" by the Stuttgart-based firm.

Finished in Signal Red and with a light grey fabric seat trim, the bodywork is in excellent condition, as is the extremely comfortable interior. The car is largely original throughout, featuring the original wheel trims, dealer rear window sticker, and first aid kit.

A previous owner has fitted a stereo CD player with Bluetooth connectivity and USB port, a useful and welcome upgrade, although it does render the cassette holders rather redundant.

This model comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox, front and rear fog lights, electric front windows, metal sliding sunroof, electrically operated passenger door mirror and central locking. It comes with a spare set of keys.

A great conversation piece, this car attracts attention amongst connoisseurs and the general public alike, as well as being a remarkably smooth and comfortable drive.

Having enjoyed 3 years of enjoyable classic motoring since buying her from a local private seller, I've decided to pass this well-maintained vehicle onto her next owner to cherish.

Featuring a wealth of service history, paperwork, handbook, and an MOT until October, this is a great useable classic for the enthusiast to enjoy.

The Mercedes-Benz 190E must be one of the best choices for those seeking a reliable, practical and handsome classic car.
