A 1985 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 in European specification, originally sold in Ecuador and later imported to the United States, is being offered after its owner converted it for track use with Cosworth-developed engine hardware, aero parts and a rebuilt chassis.

Only the 16-valve Cosworth engine is sold in Europe, and the car still managed to end up in Ecuador. Nobody asked how.
