I have for sale a 1986 Mercedes 190e 2.3 16v Cosworth plus an extra original Getrag Manual "Dogleg" Transmission . For those of you who are looking at this ad, you know that this is a true Mercedes collector's car. It was built for the race track and was beautifully engineered to provide amazing driving performance. I purchased this car because of my fascination with the history of this vehicle and general love for Mercedes engineering. I have found it to be so much fun to drive even with having the automatic transmission. I had intended to swap in a manual transmission (notes below about extra tranny) but my wife and I are planning to return to Europe much sooner than we had thought so I must sell this vehicle much sooner than I had hoped. I hope that it will provide many years of enjoyment to its new owner. Almost all of the options work apart from the passenger rear window and the sunroof. The sunroof motor operates with the switch but the sunroof itself doesn't move. All of the seats are still in good condition but would need minor repair work in a few areas, which is very common for these vehicles. The door panels are also in good condition with the two rear panels needing some repair where they meet the window. The car's radio was also upgraded to a mechless usb/mp3/aux input head unit and the car's exhaust was also upgraded, giving the car a much nicer sound and improving its performance. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and the car is very fun to drive, providing great acceleration and handling. Here is a list of mechanical repairs that were done, some of which are very important for keeping the car in its original condition: Water pump replaced Front and rear suspension bushings replaced Rear hydraulic suspension repaired Posi rear suspension repaired Belt tensioner replaced. AC system repaired and recharged. Front brake calipers and rotors upgraded Cooling system repaired All new tires and upgraded wheels put on (tires still under warranty with Discount Tire) Car's paint is in very good condition New battery With the sale, I will also include an extra Getrag 5 speed manual 'dogleg' gearbox (rare and difficult to find) as well as an extra hydraulic fluid pump and reservoir. My original intention was to convert the car to a manual transmission so I purchased this transmission from someone who had this as a good back up in case his transmission ever went out. I don't have a lot of information on it. The blue you might see on the side of it in the pictures is just left over tape that was put around where the linkages attach to protect them. The slave cylinder looks new and generally the transmission looks to be in good condition. The conversion to manual is not a very difficult swap and this is the hardest element to find, particularly with this specific shift pattern.
