EXTERIOR
The gleaming paint shows no signs of bubbling whatsoever, and both bumpers are in great order with no unsightly scuffs to report.

INTERIOROpening the door to the Cosworth you are presented with crisp leather seats. In excellent condition with only the light wrinkling to the bolsters. The inserts are also in fantastic condition, still feeling firm with no wear or sagging to report. With only the lightest of use over the years the rear seats are in particularly notable condition. Cast an eye over the dashboard and you'll notice a deep texture remains, unworn with no cracks or sun damage to be found.
Other details, such as the centre console and lacquered wood trim are in perfect condition, with the steering wheel and switchgear showing only minimal wear. The carpets are protected in all footwells with black Mercedes overmats.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Often these cars suffer from cold start problems but on this example the 2.3-litre engine fires into life first turn of the key and ticks over smoothly. This 190E is equipped with the desirable five-speed dogleg gearbox. On test the car pulls smoothly through the gears as it should, handling the engine's power perfectly. A stainless exhaust has recently been fitted, which sounds great without being too boomy at higher revs; original-style exhaust tips mean the factory appearance is preserved.
