My Corvair has a shift pattern like the left 2/3rds of that.

A numbered Cosworth Mercedes.

As you've figured out, it is a Mercedes. My best guess is a 190 Evo.

If this is for a 190 Evolution, both of them. I'm done having kids anyway.

Mercedes Benz 190E of some variation? That interior looks distinctly late 80s- early 90s German. Not sure why.

Um, I'd give ya about tree fiddy.

The first Evo II that I've seen for sale in a while.

Not as much as they're asking.

I've seen more Porsche 911 GT1 for sale at this website than 190e Evo II... I bet that it will be sold in no time.

I'm not going to say CP but that is a bit more than I would be willing to spend on one.

If you prefer this sort of Teutonic web-based masochism, these folks will also cause you no end of bliss:

I'd recognize that dog leg first anywhere. James May happened to drive one in TG. Mercedes Cosworth.

Bonhomme7h > TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts.
08/07/2013 at 20:14

This is not the common Mercedes Cosworth. 144/500 is a sizable hint ;)

Alright fine it's a 190E. I'd give my right nut for one of those.

I think the BMWs (and Alpinas) and Mercs with this shift pattern all use the Getrag 265CR dogleg box. I've got one in my E9 - not factory there.

Well, you seem to know more than me about that transmission then.

I'd like to find one, car attached, in a barn-find-of-the-decade story where it was stored alongside one or two other greats of the time, like an e30 M3 Sport Evo and maybe an RS200.

Could you imagine.
