Automatic gearbox

New MOT with no advisories.
In my ownership since August 2020.

Service History:
The car has a massive history file, filling an entire lever arch folder. There are old tax discs, and MOT certificates going back to 1992 together with receipts totalling over £23, 000 of work since 2002, including a suspension refresh in 2012 at 85178 miles by John Haynes, Mercedes Specialist, Worthing (receipt for £3665).
For the first ten years the car was serviced annually at Mercedes main dealers, almost all at the supplying dealer Continental Cars of Cardiff, and thereafter mostly Mercedes specialists.
Major work worth highlighting in my ownership includes new springs, new brake pipes and flexi hoses, fuel pipes, the work being done by Klasse Automotive, Mercedes Specialist. In addition, the car has had the usual brakes/ tyres (Michelin), battery (Mercedes) and servicing annually irrespective of mileage.
A new windscreen has been fitted following stone-chip damage.
Previously sold by MTSV of West Yorkshire.
Features include:
Electric Windows x 4
Electric tilt/ slide sunroof
Central Locking
Power Steering
Electric passenger door mirror (manually adjustable drivers mirror)
Front and rear armrests
Alloy wheels (15” Gullideckels)
A Kienzle stereo has been installed that has Bluetooth/ streaming but which doesn’t look too modern and out of place, in my view. The car will be sold with the original Blaupunkt Melbourne Radio Cassette unit which is fully working.
Other information:
I've not used the car over winter months in order to keep salt away from it. Car is garaged. It will come with a quality indoor car cover.
Drives beautifully, particularly with the 6-cylinder M103 engine.
Bodywork, alloy wheels and interior are all in exceptional condition.
An outstanding example of the rare 190E 2. 6.
LEZ exempt in Scotland as over 30 years old.
