1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E

Tidy, late model 190 with decent spec and 1.8 litre automatic power with just 77,354 miles - eminently usable example

Supplied new by Mercedes Benz Woking Motors of Walton-on-Thames in May 1993, this late model (production ceased in April,1993) Mercedes 190E is finished in Almandine red metallic and wears a rear spoiler and sits on a set of 15” eight-hole alloy wheels.

Under the bonnet, the 1.8-litre eight-valve inline four-cylinder petrol-injection engine develops 108bhp driving the rear wheels via four-speed automatic transmission with Sports and Economy/Winter mode.

The interior comes with a decent spec, including beige cloth seats with manual adjustment, four electric windows, electric passenger mirror, walnut trim, Blaupunkt radio/cassette player, electric sunroof, original first aid kit, heated rear window and original and period NEC car-phone.

The history file includes the V5C revealing six former keepers to our vendor who has enjoyed the car on a daily basis for the last four and half years, the owner’s manual and service book recording 12 stamps plus a further five hand-written entries, the most recent in January 2020. There is also a documented speedo change at 24,229 miles in June 1999 by supplying dealer MB of Walton-on-Thames.

The car currently shows 53,125 miles, so with the speedo change in mind, the total mileage is 77,354 – still uncommonly low for these most usable of Modern Classics. Furthermore, the file includes a selection of invoices relating to parts, routine maintenance and repairs along with 19 old MOTs and the current, valid until March 2023 which recorded just one minor advisory for tyre wear to the NSF.

Ready to be enjoyed, this lower mileage example ticks all the right boxes for a usable Modern Classic Merc, yes there are a few minor marks as pictured but for its age it looks spot on.
