Introduction

Here at Old Colonel Cars we have been very lucky to source an amazing example of the Mercedes 190 2. 3 16v Cosworth. Produced in 1986, this 190 has been owned by the same family from new, always garaged, with a very low 48, 000 miles from new. This Mercedes has spent its life in the family’s private underground car park, in the prestigious ‘Swiss Cottage’ area of London. This is the perfect storage for a classic car, As a result this car has not needed the usual restoration of a car of this age, underneath this car is in amazing condition, free from any surface rust, all original metal etc. Its very rare to find a 190 Cosworth in such clean, original condition, especially the more sought after 2. 3 version.

The car was stored unused between 2003 and 2019. Now back on the road, tyres replaced due to age, Motd’d and ready to enjoy. This example is one for the collector, someone who is looking for a rare, unrestored, low mileage Mercedes 190 2. 3 16v Cosworth.
