Nice 190E Cosworth Available

Got this from BaT today. Nice!
I have no affiliation, just passing it along.

Don't understand why people in the know don't snatch these up @ such a price. Friggin tight asses around I tell you. The car has been professionally reco'd! The car WILL go up considerably in value, as long as it is in VGC & has low mileage. It's one of the rare times this is foreknown! Unfortunately. For resale purposes, you'd have to stow it away as it's too valuable to continue putting the mileage up & having it deteriorate.

Very few sedans appreciate in value after 30 years. Convertibles do much better.

True, but any Cosworth will appreciate better than most, especially the EVO 2.5L & even the auto 2.3L (limited run new). The affiliation with the Brits makes them very unique Even the fact the race-prepared ones were canned just prior to rally races due to the AWD opposition makes them collectible. There becoming pricey of late down here in OZ, I been looky looky haha I wouldn't bother with Sportline's though unless they were mint & super-low mileage.
