When it comes to iconic nameplates that also happen to be limited edition models, they’re bound to cost you an arm and a leg regardless of how many miles they’ve been driven.

Take this 1990 Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II for instance. It’s been with its original owner for 29 years, according to the Bring a Trailer ad, and was only acquired by the seller in October of last year. Its 2.5-liter Cosworth inline-four unit has seen roughly 84,000 miles (135,000 km).

The exterior of this Evo II, which is chassis #130 of 502, is finished in Blue-Black Metallic, and features a standard Evo II rear wing, 17-inch alloy wheels, upgraded Brembo brakes and a lowered ride height. The car was originally sold with a smaller rear wing, which is also included in the sale.

It looks quite clean bumper to bumper and so does the interior, which is upholstered in Anthracite leather with matching carpets and zebrawood trim around the gearshift lever. On-board features include the heated Recaro seats, air conditioning with manual climate controls, the power sunroof and rear loudspeakers.

As for performance, the 2.5-liter Cosworth inline-four unit comes with the AMG PowerPack, meaning upgraded camshafts, a larger throttle body, engine management adjustments and other mods. Back in its heyday when it competed toe-to-toe with BMW‘s E30 M3 Sport Evolution, power output stood at 232 HP (235 PS) with 81 lb.-ft. of torque, which was enough for a modern day-worthy top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h) and a manufacturer rated 0-100km/h (62mph) time of 7.1 sec.

It’s interesting how nowadays, this car will easily cost more than its 2020 counterpart, with the latest Mercedes-AMG C63 S sedan setting you back no more than $75,700 in the U.S.
