Regular Car Reviews: 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E

The car was ordered in 1986 from 231 - Coblenz Branch in Germany and was the 1,537 car ordered from the Coblenz branch in 86. It was ordered in 172 Anthracite Gray with 071 black cloth. The option codes are 410 - electric sliding roof, 466 - central locking system, 534 - Manual antenna without radio set, 580 - manual air conditioning, 591 - green heat insulating glass with heated rear window made of single sheet safety glass, 620 - vehicle with catalyst / emission control system. You are correct about being able to order a euro car with english instruments but your particular car had the standard metric speedo originally. If it had english instruments from the factory it would have option code 461, 467, or 469. Rare it was ordered with the cat since most euros were ordered as catalyst ready since it wasn't required in europe yet and unleaded fuel was not as common. The seat belt buzzer and warning light is not factory but is easily removed. Obviously all the outside lights are not the original euro ones. The slowest car I've ever driven next to my stock Falcon...but, oh man, I look so cool and hip driving this little Merc!
