Truth be told, I don't like that, turbo power and a roll cage don't suit these cars. The M103 I definitely approve of though!

Just been to the local Retro Rides meet and saw a 190e instantly thought of Liam! lol It was a 2.0 though, so I imagine it was extremely quick....

To be honest mate, there's no extremely quick 190E. The 1.8 and 2.0 are about the same performance wise, I'd call them adequate. Enough power to get along ok and not feel nervous pulling out of junctions or slip roads, but need working hard to get along quickly. The 2.3 and 2.5 16 valve cars again are quite similar, but neither is really out and out fast by todays standards, more quick than fast, 0-60 in about 7.5 seconds, both surprisingly revvy, the 2.5 is a bit torquier bit doesn't like to rev as much. The 2.6 is my favourite, quick if not as quick as a 16 valve, but really lazy and torquey, very easy to drive and it's the best sounding with a 6-pot. The diesels are both pig slow, but they'll both do 50mpg on a run. Quite smooth for a diesel as well, especially the 2.5 5-pot. Both need turbos really but there aren't any RHD TDs because the turbo would be where the steering box is.

Yeah, there was some irony in that, I had guessed it wouldn't be quick tbf, but then half the cars there probably have less power than a S1 HDi. lol

Looked nice inside though, I must admit!

Lovely place to be. Huge wheel, real wood, firm throne, quiet and refined, quality tape deck, like being in the 80's.

Cosoworth's were designed to be tuned, like everything made in the 80s
