The seller offers for sale this 1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3 Sportline, a rare and desirable youngtimer finished in its original two-tone silver. Powered by a 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine delivering 136 hp, it comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox, offering an engaging and smooth driving experience. The Sportline specification includes factory sport suspension, sport seats, unique trim, badges, and a distinctive gear knob. This example was resprayed in 2023 in its original colour, showing a clean body and has no accident history.
Inside, the car presents in good condition with original check-pattern Sportline upholstery. The driver’s seat was professionally reupholstered with genuine Mercedes fabric. Features include an electric sunroof, wood-trim dashboard, original Becker radio, clear headliner, and functional electrics. Mechanically, the car is in good condition with a recent major service including all fluids and filters, new front brake pads, and rear shock absorbers. Enhancements include refinished 16” Gullideckel alloys with new Pirelli tyres and clear indicators, with all original parts included.
The Mercedes-Benz 190E, internally known as the W201, was produced from 1982 to 1993 and remains a benchmark for build quality and engineering precision. The Sportline package, introduced in the early 1990s, sharpened handling with stiffer suspension, a lower ride height, and sportier interior trim. Known for its balance between comfort and agility, the 190E Sportline delivers a refined yet connected driving experience, now increasingly appreciated by collectors seeking usable modern classics.
