[URL=http://s956.photobucket.com/user/tabz2/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps04igphcc.jpg.html][/URLmy old one I sold 3 years ago

 

Very nice car I had a manual full leather one in the red colour above before my Sierra. Great car

 

Thanks mate these both are keepers the red one in the pic had a full resto paint full efi afrermarket ecu conversion and awaiting mapping the blacks on bike carbs mega jolt ecu there brilliant cars not so fast as fords but better drive love these

 

Looks well.

 

Thanks Glenn blacks Deffo a keeper all genuine apart from conversion me and my mates going track days together there should be a few off us 3 Merc cossies maybe a few e30 325i sports hopefully in the next few months lol

 

Good good. Have you not got any ford cossies now.

 

That red one looks awesome in the last pic

 

Always liked these.

Was close to buying one many years ago. Glad I didn't as I was young and stupid and would of ruined it

 

I really do have a soft spot for these, loved mine when i had it, really tempted to get another one

 

looks spot on, what wheels are those?

 

Great cars and hard to find.

 

Cool cars these will also be worth a few quid in the future.

 

I have driven one before and although not my cup of tea they are nice looking cars. Reliable too compared to Cossies lol

 

Hi Glenn still have the bloody fords they will never go as said for Mercs lol and the e30s lol

 

You should get one if you can find one lol prob they have is with there kjet system couses them to cut out alot that's why the red ones efi all done and the black ones got after market ecu so no probes there ,

 

This ones my old one that I sold 3 years ago the new owner tracks it alot the wheels are zenders I think.

 

When I had mine rod off here's son Neil had a 2.3 e30 m3 the Merc was a far better car faster but mine was a 2.5 and far far better inside. The mercs handle spot on and go side ways all day long lol

 

Good lad lol.

 

Yep there tail happy but controllable unlike the e30s the mercs are far better IMO the red ones had an efi conv and that's just slides every wear the blacks better to control as its got basic bike carbs

 

had a few of those-have you seen the way the diff works-well smart,love the dog leg box too
a better car than a cossie-if not quite as quick in a straight line but idle problems with the cars can be a pain

anybody ever remember the mv turbos yb converted car-with the merc evo bodykit? was a nice brief-john muir knew his stuff with the mercs as well as the yb cossies rs turbos etc

 

Yeah I had an e30 drift car that was total shite, went and got an e36 and that drifted perfect out the box!!

 

Lol this blacks my 6th one iv had tell me about the idel probs lol these are fine and that yb powered one wasent a white one was it my mates got a yb powered 380bhp greys white with full Evo 2 kit?

 

Do have a soft spot for these, the shape has aged well.

 

yup was white-interior let it down at the time-the biggest part of the conversion for him was the steering iirc

 

These were mentioned on Chasing Classic Cars last night by Quentin Wilson, he said now was the time to buy these as he predicts that they are going to start to go up in value but needs to be a good one with as low miles as possible and full history.

 

Good ones are worth very good money! Had a eye on one on a auction site and was very surprised at what it made.
I find the dog box hard to get along with but never spent enough time with one

 

well as mentioned the black ones just touched 60k part history and iv got it of an old gent il health and smells like new inside aswell so its a keeper this one lol the value has gone up a lot on these like the saphs/

 

Never had a 16v but had a 2.6 manual. Loved it till it went bang
