I have for sale a 1986 Mercedes 190e 2.3 16v Cosworth plus an extra original Getrag Manual "Dogleg" Transmission . For those of you who are looking at this ad, you know that this is a true Mercedes collector's car. It was built for the race track and was beautifully engineered to provide amazing driving performance. I purchased this car because of my fascination with the history of this vehicle and general love for Mercedes engineering. I have found it to be so much fun to drive even with having the automatic transmission. I had intended to swap in a manual transmission (notes below about extra tranny) but my wife and I are planning to return to Europe much sooner than we had thought so I must sell this vehicle much sooner than I had hoped. I hope that it will provide many years of enjoyment to its new owner.

Almost all of the options work apart from the passenger rear window and the sunroof. The sunroof motor operates with the switch but the sunroof itself doesn't move. All of the seats are still in good condition but would need minor repair work in a few areas, which is very common for these vehicles. The door panels are also in good condition with the two rear panels needing some repair where they meet the window. The car's radio was also upgraded to a mechless usb/mp3/aux input head unit and the car's exhaust was also upgraded, giving the car a much nicer sound and improving its performance.

The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and the car is very fun to drive, providing great acceleration and handling. Here is a list of mechanical repairs that were done, some of which are very important for keeping the car in its original condition:
Water pump replaced
Front and rear suspension bushings replaced
Rear hydraulic suspension repaired
Posi rear suspension repaired
Belt tensioner replaced.
AC system repaired and recharged.
Front brake calipers and rotors upgraded
Cooling system repaired
All new tires and upgraded wheels put on (tires still under warranty with Discount Tire)
Car's paint is in very good condition
New battery

With the sale, I will also include an extra Getrag 5 speed manual 'dogleg' gearbox (rare and difficult to find) as well as an extra hydraulic fluid pump and reservoir. My original intention was to convert the car to a manual transmission so I purchased this transmission from someone who had this as a good back up in case his transmission ever went out. I don't have a lot of information on it. The blue you might see on the side of it in the pictures is just left over tape that was put around where the linkages attach to protect them. The slave cylinder looks new and generally the transmission looks to be in good condition. The conversion to manual is not a very difficult swap and this is the hardest element to find, particularly with this specific shift pattern.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions at 6029185887.

Brabus to storm Geneva with 800-hp version of Mercedes SL65 AMG

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

At no point during our recent drive of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG did we ever think, "You know, this thing sure is slow." After all, Merc's range-topping SL comes fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 capable of sending 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. But just in case you're still all "meh" about what the SL65 throws down, Brabus will gladly come to your rescue with this, the 800 Roadster.
As its name suggests, the 800 Roadster ups the V12's power figures to 800 horsepower and - wait for it - 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Don't get too excited, though - that torque number has been electronically limited to a measly 811 lb-ft since, you know, the transmission would probably explode if you tried to put the full force through it. Nevertheless, these represent increases of 79 hp and 73 lb-ft over the standard SL65, and that means the 800 Roadster can shoot to 62 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds - two-tenths of a second quicker than the Merc its based on. More impressively, hitting 124 mph takes just under 10 seconds, and the droptop will finally top out at an electronically limited - limited! - 217 mph. Holy smokes.
To manage all of that speed, Brabus has engineered a special carbon fiber aero kit that reduces lift, and a unique control module for the SL65's active body control suspension lowers the ride height by one full inch. The 800 Roadster rides on new 20-inch wheels, and a unique limited-slip rear differential was added, featuring a 40 percent locking rate that further enhances performance when you're attempting to control the beast at its limits. Interior upgrades include new leather and alcantara surfaces throughout the cabin, including a leather-clad trunk.
