This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 is said to be offered by the original owner, and with only 52k on the odometer, looks like it has barely been driven. The seller claims that even the original Pirelli P6’s are on the rear of the car–surely to be dry-rotted after 27 years of minimal use. Described as one of 751 imported to the US that year, it could easily be one of the nicest left. Find it here on peachparts’s for sale forum in Long Island, New York for $18,800.

Photos aren’t super-detailed or very high resolution, but from what we can make out the car does look to be very well kept. The seller notes expected imperfections and patina, but we gather paint and sheet metal remain original. We’d leave it exactly as-is aside from putting the US market headlights on a shelf and swapping in some European-spec units for a cleaner look.

With such low miles, it’s not surprising to see the interior looking so well-preserved. Minimal creasing of the leather is evident, and the carpets, plastics and trim look great as well. The all-black theme is a bit dour, though some wood trim on the center stack and console help brighten things slightly. We’ve always liked the half leather, half black and white tartan upholstery fitted to some home market cars, though this one is obviously too nice to modify–ergonomics and build quality are excellent in Benzes of this era, though, and rowing the dogleg 5-speed sounds like a lot of fun.

Said to have always been garaged, maintained properly and driven conservatively, the seller adds that it performs flawlessly just as when new. Service documentation isn’t mentioned, though extras do include the original manuals, window sticker, invoice, odometer disclosure statement and unused tool and first-aid kits. Unfortunately, no engine shots are provided, but the seller invites further discussion and offers additional info and pics on request. Provided all checks out, it’d be a blast to fly out and take a leisurely week or two driving this thing home along some interesting back roads.
