Were Evo 2's in the 20's that recently? I thought they were big money a long time but not certain.
I get why they are so highly priced to a point.
My observation on the normal 2.3/2.5 is they just don't seem to have the natural desirability/pull the E30 had as it shot up. I say shot up ... It was fairly progressive to start with.
I guess what I am trying to say is it feels false at the moment.
There could be an element of regret I didn't pick up a decent one (relative) for £4K a few years ago perhaps.
MERCEDES ANSWER TO THE BMW E30 M3
Whoever buys that is in for a nasty shock when they remove the bodykit
Have you ever driven one in anger? They are fabulous and far from being inferior compared to the Ford and BMW. Vastly underrated and don't have the yobbo image the other two have. A proper Q car.
As for it bombing, far from it. Mercedes could't keep up with demand when the 2.3 was released. And Cosworth couldn't keep up with demand for the engines, so the 2.5 was produced by MB.
They always were and still are a rare sight on uk roads compared to it's rivals, if such a well respected / established company such as MB can't meet let alone exceed demands (as have it's rivals) for such a ground breaking car then it bombed (in terms of sales)
Didn't Top Gear do a sort of three-car test with one of these, an M3 and a Sapphire Cosworth? ISTR the MB came last in almost every aspect, including the acceleration and track tests.
