Not sure if you want your Mercedes in pink? Or in yellow? Well you can paint it both!:

Found this on ebay UK

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9855&item=4508427661&rd=1#ebayphotohosting which is a rather interestingly painted car!

One question - what engine is that in it? It claims to be a 2.0, but my 2.0 has the air box on the right of the picture directly over the engine's air intake plenum thingy, and the air intake is also on the other side.

Perhaps it's the newer 1.8, or did they rearrange things under the bonnet on later 2.0 (M102) models?

thanks

That is an M102, 2 litre, but being a 190 rather than 190E, it is fitted with a carburettor rather than fuel injection. The 190 was probably most common in European markets. We got very few in Australia and North America got none (in fact they got no 2 litre M102s). The 190 (with carb) was superseded by the 190E-1.8 (with KE injection like all other 190E models).
