    I know that car, it's very very nice. But loud. Exhaust on it is a bit much. Also, price is far too high.

    Just have a guess. I bet everyone of you will be waaay off the mark

    I love looking at the top of the ads, model, year and mileage and ask myself whats that worth and then scroll down. I said maybe €3-€4k. Laughed out loud when I saw €10k!

    he must have meant 650 not 6500 and he goes to the bother of taking the plates off and then takes a picture of the nct disk, what a dope.

    Fairly sure that's a friend of mine's old Cam (the reg font giving it away).

    Also fairly sure it wasn't running when he had it, and also fairly sure it was a bit rusty. i'll have to ask one of the lads.

    looks liek the owner also only realised how big a money pit " performance " cars can be ( nothing against the car in question, but it can be quiet costly keeping a banger going )

    I saw that one a couple of days ago and could not believe. Yes, it looks clean, but who can appreciate it for the asking price :).

    Don't know about that one being a dreamer. Tried and tested vehicle, does exactly what its suppose to.

    It's in good condition and they go forever. 130k on a 90d, sure it's only a young one.:p

    Looks like a Cosworth Merc, so could be worth that kind of money if it is in good shape!

    Possibly.

    But it has the right capacity engine, correct bodykit, correct interior ... If I was a betting man I'd say its a genuine Mercedes 190 Cosworth - and if its in decent condition (which it appears to be) it'd be worth a decent amount alright.

    There is no "genuine" Mercedes-Benz Cosworth. This car was never named or marketed as "Cosworth". The model name of this particular Benz is 190E 2.5-16. The earlier engines were 2.3 litre (190E 2.3-16). The 16-Valve models are quite rare and are only 1.4% of the W201 model range.

    Back in the late 1970s, Mercedes competed in rallying with the big V8-powered Coupés of the R107 Series, mainly the light-weight Mercedes 450 SLC 5.0. Mercedes wished to take the 190 E rallying, and asked British race car engineering company Cosworth to develop an engine with 320 bhp (239 kW) for the rally car. This project was known as project "WAA' by Cosworth".[4] During this time, the Audi Quattro with its all-wheel drive and turbocharger was launched, making the 2.3-16v appear over-matched. With a continued desire to compete in high-profile motor sport with the 190, and also now an engine to do it with, Mercedes turned to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft (DTM) (German Touring Car Championship) motor sport series instead. Cars racing in this championship, however, had to be based on a roadgoing model. Mercedes therefore had to put into series production a 190 fitted with a detuned version of the Cosworth engine. This high-performance model was known as the 190 E 2.3-16, and debuted at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September 1983, after its reputation had already been established. Three cars, only slightly cosmetically altered, had set three world records in August at the Nardo testing facility in Italy, recording a combined average speed of 154.06 mph (247.94 km/h) over the 50,000 km endurance test, and establishing twelve international endurance records. The Mercedes 190-E Cosworth was also featured on the second episode in season fifteen of the extremely popular car show Top Gear.
