****THIS CAR IS A 1986 MODEL BUT EBAY DOES NOT TAKE EURO VIN PAST 1980****This is one of the Very rare and highly collectable Mercedes Benz 190 2.3-16 valve Cosworth cars built by Mercedes to homologate the race version of this car to compete in the European Touring car races. Mercedes was building a BMW M3 Competitor and turned to the British race car tuner Cosworth to build it. The result was this car which shared the 190 body but little else. The engine was highly modified with a new head and completely new internals and put out 185hp in Euro Spec (THIS IS A EURO SPEC CAR). It has the exact same dogleg Getrag transmission as the BMW M3 as well. The body has an improved body kit from the factory which lowers the drag coefficient to .32. And the interior is highly modified with 4 bolstered leather seats. This car also has Euro headlights since it was originally delivered overseas, and also wears some later AMG Monoblock wheels.

While all 2.3-16 Cosworth cars are very rare to begin with, this car is even more rare. It's the Euro version which is quite a bit different than the US version. It has the higher compression, higher horsepower engine, manual transmission (Most US cars were Automatic) the better bumpers, Headlights, and is pearl black where most US cars were smoke silver, a champagne color. Very few of this spec car come up for sale. and even fewer in this condition.

This car is in excellent cosmetic condition, and runs and drives well. However be advised, it just was pulled out of storage after laying dormant for several years in a garage, and may need some fine tuning and TLC before it is used regularly again. We've not had the car serviced since it was traded in, but have driven the car, and have not noted any signifigant problems. It runs well, drives well, shifts well and stops well. Some small items are not working such as the aftermarket stereo system, and the A/C will need a recharge.

If you are looking for a truly rare and desirable Mercedes at a bargain price, this could be an amazing car for the right Enthusiast.

Mercedes-Benz USA considering moving south

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Mercedes-Benz may be a German automaker first and foremost, but it's a global operation. Among its many offices around the world, the company employs some 800 staffers at its US headquarters in New Jersey. But that office could be moving down South in the near future. According to reports in the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the Wall Street Journal and Automotive News, Mercedes is looking into relocating its American head office from Montvale, NJ, where it's been based since 1972, to one of several locations under consideration below the Mason-Dixon line. Among the front-runners is Atlanta, where Porsche bases its North American operations. The presence of a trained workforce, necessary infrastructure, compliant officials and proximity to a major hub for international air traffic could make the Georgian metropolis an attractive proposition for Mercedes. Several locations in North Carolina are also said to be under consideration, as well. Either way, MBUSA's relocation to the South would put it closer to its assembly plant in Tuscaloosa, AL, and to the Port of Brunswick near Savannah from which it ships out those vehicles made in Alabama to points overseas. The relocation project is reportedly being handled by commercial real-estate firm JLL Inc, which is helping Toyota handle its relocation from southern California and Ohio to Texas. Sources don't expect, however, for New Jersey to let Mercedes go without a fight. The state's Grow NJ Assistance Program could offer MBUSA an attractive incentives package to stay in Montvale. The company previously planned in 1998 to relocate to Pearl River, NY, but ultimately ended up staying in Jersey.

Daimler names Bernd Pischetsrieder to supervisory board

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Some executives in the automotive industry stay with one company for their entire careers, while others bounce from one to the other, often leaving their indelible mark on each automaker at which they serve. Bob Lutz is certainly an example of the latter. So is Lee Iacocca, having presided over Ford and later charing the Chrysler board. Carlos Tavares was chief operating officer of Renault before being nominated as chief executive at PSA Peugeot Citroën. But as far as the Germans go, nobody's jumped from the leadership of one automaker to the next quite like Bernd Pischetsrieder - especially now that he's been named to the supervisory board of Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler.
An engineer by training, Pischetsrieder started his career at BMW in 1973, eventually rising to the office of CEO after twenty years. There he remained until 1999, only to be dismissed after orchestrating BMW's takeover of the Rover Group (of which only the Mini brand remains in the company's portfolio, the other brands having been sold off after his dismissal).
The next year he was named chairman of Volkswagen's Seat brand, and rose to the chairmanship of the entire Volkswagen Group two years later. Despite a largely successful four-year tenure (that gave birth, incidentally, to the Bugatti Veyron), disagreements with supervisory board chairman Ferdinand Piëch saw him leave the helm at VW AG, focusing his attention on the Scania truck division. He's since been touted as a potential chief executive for Opel and for Continental, but neither potential was apparently realized.
