The seller offers for sale this Mercedes-Benz 190 E Cabriolet from 1987, an elegant open four-seater based on the well-known W201 platform. The car is powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. According to the seller, the car was first delivered in France in December 1987 and later became part of a classic car collection in Sweden in 2010. The current owner purchased the car in the summer of 2024 as an investment and to enjoy driving during the summer months. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The paintwork is described as original and in good condition. Inside, the car is equipped with leather upholstery and features such as air conditioning and central locking.
The current documented mileage is 26.000 km and it holds a valid technical inspection.
The cabriolet is fitted with an electrically operated soft top that shows light signs of use but remains neat and watertight. The mechanism operates smoothly and quietly, allowing the roof to open and close as intended.
The Mercedes-Benz 190 E, part of the W201 series, marked an important step for Mercedes-Benz when it was introduced in the early 1980s as a more compact luxury sedan. Known for its strong engineering, refined driving characteristics and durability, the model quickly gained a reputation as one of the most solid compact executive cars of its era. The platform was widely praised for its balanced chassis and comfort, while still offering the build quality associated with the brand. Cabriolet versions of the 190 E were not produced by Mercedes-Benz itself in series form, which makes professionally converted examples particularly interesting to enthusiasts. Today, these open variants attract attention for their distinctive appearance and the combination of compact dimensions with classic Mercedes-Benz styling.
