Our Take:
  • A Glorious Nod to Mercedes-Benz History: The 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 is a piece of automotive lore, born from Mercedes' desire to compete in touring car racing. It was developed with input from the legendary Cosworth, which explains its heady 185 hp—a figure much higher than its American contemporaries. Fans of DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft) racing will appreciate the roots of this road-legal powerhouse.
  • Euro-Spec Treasures: This particular 190E comes with some truly European features that set it apart—like the high-compression engine, adjustable ignition timing, and a lack of catalytic converter (making enthusiasts swoon yet emissions-conscious folks raise an eyebrow). No sunroof and manual seat adjustments mean it’s lighter, a crucial point for those who relish the purity of driving.
  • Stripped-down Beauty: With no air conditioning to clutter the engine bay, this car keeps things clean and classic. The manual, cable-operated HVAC system is a delight for those who fear the eventual failure of modern electronic systems. Plus, there's the subtle joy of mechanical seat adjustments, harkening back to when cars were simpler and arguably more visceral.
  • Little Details, Big Charms: The uniqueness doesn’t stop with the mechanicals. This car boasts French flair with yellow fog reflectors—an automotive quirk that carries a certain "je ne sais quoi." And during night drives, the matching hues of the heater knob lights and Becker radio add a nostalgic charm that’d warm any enthusiast's heart.
