Vehicle Description
1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth Sports Saloon: Iconic
Homologation SpecialProduced with racing in mind, Mercedes-Benz
asked British engineering company Cosworth to develop an engine for
their 190E rally car. This high-performance model was known as the
190 E 2.3-16V, and debuted in September at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor
Show. Along with the high-performance Cosworth engine, the 16-valve
cars came with a body kit, a quicker steering ratio, Getrag 5-speed
dog-leg manual gearbox, and recaro seats. It also had three extra
dials - an oil temperature gauge, stopwatch and voltmeter - were
included in the centre console. The suspension on 16-valve models
is modified as well by being both lower and stiffer. This
particular example is a solid and straight California car in need
of servicing and minor cosmetics. It has 153k miles and is ready
for straightforward recommissioning. It runs and drives but will
need servicing to be considered roadworthy. The paint and interior
are also tired at this point. Although this iconic homologation
special does need some attention, it has plenty of investment
potential. The market is hot for these cars and this one represents
a superb value. Offered at an absolute bargain price, don't miss
this exciting opportunity to own this increasingly collectible and
sought-after Sports Saloon.Price: $17,500
