1985 Mercedes-Benz 190 2.3 16v Erste Serie in very good original condition.
This is a rare unit of the first series, like the one in the 1984 Master’s Champion race in Nürburgring which won a young Ayrton Senna.
You can see details of the first series, such as the windscreen wiper arm on the right side instead of the left, as is usual. First series vehicle with original details like this.
This vehicle has been recently restored: A full engine service has been done, new spark plugs, steering ball joints, suspension ball joints, fully serviced drivetrain, as well as renewed and checked brake system with new brake fluid. The cooling circuit has been cleaned and the fluid was replaced. The entire Bosch injection has been disassembled to adjust and clean it completely.
The vehicle starts immediately, the gearbox works perfectly and smoothly. The bodywork was repainted in January 2022 and the whole sheet metal has been cleaned up. It has been fully painted in its original Rauchsilber paint, including its plastic lower parts with semi-matt lacquer, as originally, and its line at the bottom in black colour.
Equipped with an original Becker radio cassette player. The central chronometer works properly, as well as the oil temperature gauge and also the battery charge level gauge. Only the outer temperature display fails sometimes, a flaw to be repaired. The tyres are at 70%. The air conditioning must be recharged to work properly. The hydraulic suspension has been renewed and its self-levelling function works perfectly.
Used for the first time in Ceuta (Spain) and bought at the Mercedes-Benz dealership. Always driven by its owner until April 2021. Ceuta is a small Spanish city and that is why its low mileage is real, as a ferry was necessary to transport it to the peninsula on few occasions.
The vehicle has its real mileage written on the ITV (Spanish vehicle inspection) cards. The seller can help with transport throughout Europe for an additional cost.
You can collect this vehicle in Avilés, Asturias, Spain.
