500SEC 5.0 (A) - 1985 Mercedes Benz C126

1986 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth - UK Spec RHD Manual - Fully Documented

THE ACCIDENTAL LEGEND - HOW IT BEGAN It began with a change of plans. Mercedes-Benz originally intended the 190E to be a rally car. They commissioned British engineering legends Cosworth to develop a high-performance engine. However, when the Audi Quattro made RWD rally cars obsolete, Mercedes pivoted to the DTM track and the 190E 2.3-16 was born.

VEHICLE OVERVIEW We are proud to offer this rare UK-Delivered Right Hand Drive example. With RHD manual production estimated at fewer than 800 units globally, this is an investment grade classic.

This unit was supplied new on March 2nd 1986 by Continental Cars Cardiff Ltd. It is finished in the desirable Blue-Black Metallic 199.
