This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 is finished in Blue-Black Metallic over black leather and powered by a 2.3-liter inline-four linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional equipment includes an electric sunroof, a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo, power-adjustable front seats, and 15″ alloy wheels. The car was purchased new from Gulf Stream Motors in West Palm Beach, Florida, before being relocated to Massachusetts in the mid-2000s. Work performed in April 2020 included the installation of a replacement steering link.
Styling elements unique to the model include aerodynamic lower bodywork and a raised rear spoiler. This example is finished in Blue-Black Metallic (199U) and features an electric sunroof with a visor, a power antenna, and headlight wipers.
Silver-finished 15” Gullideckel alloy wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Exalto all-season tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, and the car is equipped with a self-leveling rear suspension. A replacement steering link was installed in April 2020.
The cabin features power-adjustable front seats upholstered in black leather with a matching dash, center console, door panels, and carpets. Woodgrain trim accents the center stack, and additional amenities include a Becker Grand Prix cassette radio, air conditioning, cruise control, and heat-insulating glass.
The leather-wrapped airbag steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an integrated clock, and a combination gauge indicating oil pressure, instant economy, coolant temperature, and fuel level. A VDO stopwatch, as well as oil temperature and voltage gauges, are mounted within the center stack. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 46k miles.
The 2.3-liter DOHC inline-four was designed in collaboration with Cosworth and features a light-alloy cylinder head as well as four valves per cylinder. Factory-rated output was 167 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission with a dogleg pattern and a limited-slip differential.
The 1987 sales invoice from Gulf Stream Motors in West Palm Beach, Florida, displays a total cash price of $39,940.
