The 1985 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 is a performance-oriented compact saloon developed with input from Cosworth. It features a 2.3 litre 16-valve inline-four engine producing 167bhp, paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Designed for motorsport homologation, it includes a limited-slip differential, sport suspension, and aerodynamic body kit. The 190E 2.3-16 earned acclaim for its handling, build quality, and racing pedigree, notably competing in the Nürburgring Race of Champions. It remains a revered classic among enthusiasts today.

This impressive example was registered in October 1985 and presents extremely well in dark grey metallic coachwork with chequered cloth and vinyl seats. This handsome 'wolf in sheep's clothing' benefits from a factory fitted steel sunroof, electric windows, a subtle rear spoiler, refurbished alloy wheels and manual transmission. The file for this enthusiast owned autobahn cruiser, contains an original book pack, a service book showing 17 stamps and various bills and receipts. Offered to auction with a V5 registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate, this Cosworth engined Mercedes is attractively estimated and ready for a new owner. Consigned by Dominic Lake
