Description
Very rare Mercedes 190E with full Sportline spec (option code 950) also featuring the sports seats in the front and individual sports rear seats finished in the desirable black check "karo" cloth.
Includes the Sportline chassis option with lowered and uprated suspension (springs & dampers) and quicker steering from the factory with smaller diameter steering wheel.
Ordered new from Normand Mercedes Bristol by a London based Doctor, the car appears to have spent some of its early life in Belgravia (clearly a man of taste).

The solid black paint very much suits the car and it does present well, although would benefit from refurbishment/ repaint to complete this rare 190E
The sunroof does open and close, but could benefit from adjustment
Small amount of rust on the underside of the parcel shelf, which appears to have been treated in the past
Rear electric windows currently aren't working - potentially a switch issue
The original radio powers up, and the electric aerial works but the code needs resetting.
