Mercedes 190e cosworth rep

In the process of purchasing the car.
Other than logistics holding it up!
Any tips on what to look out for on inspection?

Rust and the quality of the body kit and how it was fitted

As above really, especially rust behind the Sacco panels on the rear quarters. Also the rear subframe, under the wheel arches front and rear, front chassis legs and a myriad of other places.

The rear suspension is a piece of art with it's 5 point linkage and makes for a really good ride, but bear in mind there are an awful amount of bushes to wear out. And they do...

Door cards de-laminate at the top and, whilst they can be repaired, are getting harder to find.

There's an excellent buyers guide HERE which happens to be on a very knowledgeable forum for the 190E.

Good luck with the car, I loved mine.
