That R32 😍 the others meh.

Had a visit to Awesome for some work. These two beauts are in the reception.

I can't be the only one that doesn't give 2 tiddlywinks about them?

They just look ruined

 

[Willo40]

That Merc looks so s**t sitting that low.

 

[Matt Cup]

I’m more about the interiors tbh, I love retro recaro’s and the simplicity of 80’s/90’s interior. But can appreciate the external aspect too. I’m old though and this is my era😶


I understand the hate but I’d happily pimp around in either of these.

There can't be many of those 190 Cosworths with a manual box.

You reckon? I would have thought there would be more manuels?

Even 15yrs ago (I briefly convinced myself I could daily one) the manuals carried a premium.

Nope they sold more autos surprisingly.

Would have to be a dog leg for me 100%

I seem to remember the reviews of the time saying the auto was most popular. Iirc even most of the EVO's were auto too.

Google also suggests the same.

"The Mercedes 190E Cosworth is commonly found with an automatic transmission, as it was the more popular choice and often preferred by buyers for its smooth ride and Mercedes' reputation for excellent automatics"

 

[McGherkin]

Yeah Mercs are almost always autos so it’s no surprise that even the spiciest of them have been predominantly auto too.

 

[Yarp]

Aye, loads of that era are auto. All complete with that stupid f**king stick thingy on the steering column to decide whether you go forwards or backwards.

Neighbours friend has just pulled up in a lovely old Jag.

I vow to own one one day! I've always liked them! It has to be a Mk2 (like this) and not an S Type or Daimler.

Air ride though, innit! It sits that low when "aired out" normal ride height is higher and it can go even higher still.

I'll never forget James Mays one when the Stig put it in reverse instead of first!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Anyone that fits air ride to a 190E Cosworth should be shot in the face. I don't understand why you'd buy a car known for its handling prowess, and then ruin it with shite suspension. Just buy a base model if you don't care how it drives.

 

[Matt Cup]

Spotted this not far from my office.

 

[Short Norman]

Is that he start of the yellow brick road in the background of the second photo

Banbury? If so that's weird as I was just telling the missus about the strange McDonald's that has a drive through around the back with all the shop loading bays.

Very tidy!.

I miss the days when the standard reply to any conversation about seeking more power was just “chuck a redtop turbo in the c**t”. Simpler times.
