Good Afternoon all, I have just signed up to this forum as I have what I believe to be a rare Mercedes 190E Cosworth 2.3-16.
I am looking to sell the car but am not sure of value.
The car has a lot of history which I will detail below. It has been in storage for 4 years and I only just got it out this weekend.
The condition isn't great and it would make the ideal project for someone. Whilst in storage the car did have an MOT carried out and it hasn't driven a mile since, so in theory once I get it running again it should pass straight away. I will get this done prior to any sale.
What is rare about this car is its history. It was the feature car of AutoCar in 1985, being on the front page and a 9 page article in side. It is pictured with Cosworths design chief Mike Hall.
AutoCar also did a follow up on the car 11 years later in 1996. I have both original copies of the magazines.
There are also many articles on line stating this is the car that put AYRTON SENNA on the map as a driver.
The car has done 177k miles and there is a thick file of service history and bills.
I know with cars they are only worth what someone is will to pay. I am looking to sell this car to an enthusiast and am happy to be guided on price.
Please let me know your thoughts, it would be interesting to learn more !
