http://www.ebay.com/itm/151789289850?redirect=mobile Rick Sent from my BlackBerry Z10 Yes My prediction around 1990 was that the the 190E 2.3-16V would become the next closest thing to a gull wing in terms of an MB collector car. Now, the AMGs may eclipse the lowly 190E. But at the time...1986 to 1990, this was THE hot Mercedes. While it is not as pretty as a 300SL, it WAS the race car driver's road car. I can see them becoming valuable, and if the mileage on this one is correct, it may become a price leader.

Re: [MBZ] A buy for clay
Not happy to lower the standards of just one Concours weekend, LeMons brings Hoopties, Rust Buckets, Misfits, Mistakes and the worst of the automotive world to the Concours of the America’s weekend in Michigan. The Concours d’LeMons Michigan will take place on July 25, 2015 at the Inn at St. John’s, in a corner of the parking lot near the dumpsters. How fitting. But hey at least we are on the property of a major concours. All of regular Concours d’LeMons hi-jinx will ensue, capricious judging, bribery, awful trophies and even worse cars. If you take yourself or your car very seriously, this isnt the show for you.

Re: [MBZ] Another 108
Nope. The 3.5 was the original one, but in '70 the emissions requirements and American driving habits resulted in the substitution of the 4.5L with different cams. There are some 350 SLs around from 1972, rather uncommon -- skinny bumpers and all. I've seen one here in town a couple times, but since they were only sold for part of that year, they don't show up too often. Same horsepower but a higher rev limit on the 3.5 and higher octane fuel requirement, I think.
