AI Listing Summary
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 190E Cosworth, originally owned by King Constantine II of Greece, is presented in a unique Nautical Blue Metallic. While the exterior shows some signs of age and minor cosmetic flaws, the interior is well-preserved, and recent mechanical work includes a recommissioning in March 2024; however, the car requires attention to the engine idling and replacement of the tires.
Condition
7
The car is in overall solid condition with some wear visible. The paint is in very good condition with a healthy sheen, but there are some flaws like overspray on the sunroof seal, light marks, aging rubber on the bumpers, a scuff on the front bumper, loss of lacquer on the rear spoiler, and a scratch on the front wing. The interior is appealing, with the front seats showing minor creases and the rear seats in even better condition. There's some wear on the wheels, with minor kerbing marks and brake dust. The car needs new tires due to age-related cracks. Mechanically, the engine is reluctant to idle, and the battery is weak, requiring attention.

The King also asked that its exterior badges be deleted, and for it to be fitted with green-tinted windows, air-conditioning, central locking, an electric sliding/tilting sunroof, heated door mirrors, and a Becker Mexico radio.
The mechanical specification includes automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential, with the former being the obvious choice for a car whose role was to smoke around London as effortlessly and stylishly as possible.
The W201 series has always been known for its bomb-proof construction and durability; throw in a money-no-object maintenance regime for its first dozen years plus an...
