FS: 1986 190E 2.3-16, low miles, excellent condition!

Rare collectable, only ~1800 officially imported into the U.S. Special dual-cam 4-valve-per-cylinder head developed by Formula One veteran Cosworth Engineering, plus numerous other engine, suspension, chassis, body, and interior modifications make up this race-inspired sports car. Homologated for German DTM series racing, where it came to dominate the competition until the end of the model's run in 1993. This one is an official MB import, NOT a gray-market car.

Some highlights and details:
-a SUPER-low 74,500 miles, given the car's age
-original glossy Black Pearl Metallic paint, garaged at all times (at least while I owned it)
-flawless black leather interior on factory Recaro seats
-4-speed automatic transmission
-16-valve Cosworth head
-stainless steel tubular exhaust headers
-limited slip differential, 3.27:1 final gear ratio
-factory alarm
-sliding sunroof
-front Bilstein/Eibach lowered sport suspension
-stock rear self-leveling suspension (SLS)
-all books and manuals, including original dealer sticker and color sales brochure
-VIN: WDBDA34D8GF210414 (for Carfax purposes)

recent service:
-15,000 mile interval major service (75K service)
-new brake pads and sensors
-new front shock tower mounts
-new front spring pads, #1 size
-new K&N air filter
-new spark plugs
-all fluids including Mobile 1 0-40 synth. motor oil
-new transmission, oil, and SLS filters
-new SLS nitrogen accumulators
-new engine accessory belt
-new A/C charge
-new idler arm bushings
-new center drag link
-new motor and transmission mounts
-new transmission cooler hoses

Asking $8500. Some pics here:

For an extra $1000 you also get the following package of loose items (uninstalled):
-four mint (not even a hint of curb rash) O.Z. Racing Superleggera 17" x 8" wheels in Matte Tuner Gray (at a superlight 17 pounds per wheel!) mounted with...
-...four Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires, 215/40-17 (<1000 miles on them)
-switch plate and vacuum switch for European height adjustment feature on E-Code headlamps (if you decide to upgrade to those)
-Avantgarde S600-style grille
-rear Eibach Sport springs (to replace SLS completely, you would also need rear shocks and SLS pump block-off plate, I can provide info on what and where to go for these)
-new OEM driveshaft flex disks (spares)
-Haynes service and maintenance manual
-complete MB service CD
-"Cosworth" fender badges

Some pics of the car with some of the above exterior accessories here:

Car has clear title, California registration good until September 2006. Clean Carfax (I can send a copy of the Carfax report from when I bought it two years ago, or you can run your own from the provided VIN # above), no accidents. Please contact me if interested, or know someone else who is: 916-801-0115. I'm in the Sacramento, CA area. Thanks for looking!
