Cosworth 190E 2.3-16

autokennel.com seems to be dead. Not many of these cars around.

2.3 16's are great cars.

With that said, 4 door cars have a really hard time competing against 2 door cars when it comes to collectability.

The only exception seems to be a e28 m5 vs e24 m6's.

This seems to be a good buy. It's located in a affluent neighborhood. Chances are it's been very well maintained. A comparable
e30 m3 would bring 18k easily.

Stumbled across a set of 2.3 Cosworths recently. My dad used to race a 190e in the 80's in a stock class, so I was thinking on restoring one of these to original in his memory.
So Ive been looking around, and for a car considered to be the arch rival of the M3, they certainly don't have anything close of a cult following like the M3 does. You would think that due to them being harder to come by in the US, (only 1900) they would bring in more money. But they seem to be much cheaper to get ahold of than the M3.

Did the M3 completley kill any chances the 2.3 had to earn collector status? Any cool pics, stories, history on these cars you want to share. Post it here.
