No 190s sold in North America ever took leaded fuel, and I'd be surprised if Euro versions did either. Model year can be determined from the vehicle identification number (VIN). About the 10th digit of the VIN is a letter corresponding to the model year:

E = 1984
F = 1985
G = 1986
H = 1987
I was not used
J = 1988
K = 1989
L = 1990
M = 1991
N = 1992
O was not used
P = 1993
