I wasn't very familiar with the 190 series, and new nothing of a Cosworth version. However, I have read about the Cosworth's in a magazine I get from the UK, and the Costworth 190's are sort after cars and people pay big buck, or I should say Pound Sterling for these cars. Were they are fast and nimble as the stories I have read about them. Also, were they offered in the US?

thanks guys,
i get the odd puff of smoke, but i am losing alot of oil for the engine to be burning this amount.
Anyway surely the compression test would show any signs of wear in the engine?

Not sure if the coswoth was avaliable in the states? They are nice cars but there is so much to go wrong! LOL
