Under 47k miles, 3 owners & Cosworth kit. The files of paperwork include service invoices dating back to 1990, pages of tax discs, dealer brochures and various other goodies.
Freshly refurbished 5 spoke OZ alloys with matching tyres, bright paintwork and a very clean interior makes for an excellent example.
This is a presentable and unique example. It is ready to be used and enjoyed as it is.
If you'd like to make it absolutely mint then I'd recommend sorting the wheel arch edges out underneath the bodykit (dirt builds up under the bodykit lip leading to rust). The front wings can be swapped out but the rear arches will need painted if you'd like this sorted.
It is a joy to drive and the engineering behind it is to be appreciated.
Only 3 previous keepers with 2 of them being husband and wife.
1989 - registered and supplied by HL Gorner Wigan to a local lady owner where (I have been told) the bodykit and wheels were fitted prior to being on the road.
2008 - The car was then purchased by a local independent dealer from the original owner. He has since confirmed that it had the kit fitted and had less than 20k miles on the clock, which tallies up with the MOT history. He remembers the transaction, describing the car being garage kept from new and in "exceptional, time warp condition".
In the same year that same dealer then sold the car onto an HGV driver and car enthusiast, local to myself.
2012 - Unfortunately the owner passed away, leaving the car to his wife who continued to keep it maintained and service every year as well as driven (albeit only on short journeys) as her only car. Although sentimentally attached, she decided to part with the car in 2023 for something more practical.
2023 - As a motor trader, I was on the look out for a personal vehicle to enjoy this summer. I heard the 190e was coming up for sale locally and I took ownership of the car in April.
I had the car health checked and serviced before I started using it - in terms of repairs it has only needed an ignition module to fix a lumpy idle. The coolant light intermittently flashes. It has never lost coolant or overheated and the light even comes on when cold so it is certainly a sensor/ wire to the light at fault. It may not even come on when you view but it's worth mentioning.
It's truly a brilliant car but I can't keep them all.
