Appeal
In the mid ’80 Mercedes decided that they wanted to compete in world championship racing & rallying utilising their up and coming 190 saloon platform.
To help make the car competitive, more power was needed and so race engine designers Cosworth were employed to re-design the engine, Mercedes meanwhile went about improving the handling.
Uprated springs & dampers were fitted, along with self-levelling rear suspension. Mercedes also fitted a limited slip differential to the axle, improving grip through corners.
At the end of all this, the engine produced over 200 bhp and the Merc had the handling to match which made for a great road car and the basis for Mercedes racing touring cars.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing is an oft used phrase, but one that describes the 190E Cosworth down to a tee.
History & Paperwork
- There is a V5c registration document in the vendor’s name
- Maintenance book full of main dealer stamps
- A file of invoices for servicing works
- Owners’ handbook
- Original Mercedes folder
- A list of previous owners & works carried out over the years and by whom
- Mot until February 2023
The history is pretty extensive and traceable throughout.
Interior
Full black leather greets you as you slip into the supportive seats, all of which are in very good condition. The driver’s seat has the usual slight scuffing on the bolster as to be expected.
All door cards are complete and look to be in great condition as does the roof lining , with just slight darkening to the sunroof panel .
The sunroof tilts & slides as expected and the electric windows open and close with ease.
Dash is in good overall condition, but there is slight cracking around some of the switches, see photos The vendor tells us that all gauges work, as does the heater & air conditioning.
Carpets are good too, black of course & there is a set of fitted carpets floor carpets to go with the car. This 190E still has the original radio fitted too!
Exterior
Paintwork is very good, and the body appears sound. There is of course as expected a few stone chips to the front of the bonnet, unavoidable here.
There is a little corrosion to the driver’s side alloy door mirror and one or two small scratches around the body, but these really are minor and in no way detract from the overall appearance of this gorgeous Mercedes.
Wheels show just a little blistering under the paint, but there’s no scuffs and they are fitted with matching Goodyear Eagle tyres all round.
Mechanics
The 190E started easily for the photo shoot, with the engine sounding smooth & quiet.
There is as already mentioned, considerable service history with this car, a number of invoices & backed up by the maintenance book.
No major work has been carried out by the vendor during his tenure, only service work which of course goes to show just how well the Mercedes were built originally, not bad for a 35-year-old car.
He tells us that he’s not aware of any work that needs attention, he just wants it to go to someone who will have time to use it as intended.
Summary
As stated at the beginning, this car has been very well looked after by enthusiastic owners who had the foresight to have most of the servicing works carried out by well-known main dealers or specialists.
This is a racing homologation special, built to allow Mercedes to compete on the world stage of touring car racing, battles with the BMW M3’s of the era are legendary stuff.
Back to that wolf in sheep’s clothing, not as loud and brash as the BMW M3, more subtle and sophisticated, but just as quick in a straight line and of course around those twisty bits.
If you’re in the market for one, especially a red one ( they only came in 2 colours ) could this be the one for you, take a good look …..

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
