Words and photos on the Sauber mercedes C292 here : http://www.gurneyflap.com, unfortunately photos are bad (taken in a dark museum) but as there were no other ones available before that will do the job

There's a book about the Sauber Mercedes sports cars:
Sauber-Mercedes C9: The Return of the Silver Arrows

Don't know if the C293 is mentioned in this book.

no, the book is only about the C9 and it was published before the C292 (not the C293).

Good news, I thought he had published it in the 90's. I only saw it here and they didn't talk about it in Racetech mag for example. And the price is low for a Bamsey book Mike, there's a C9 for sale in Europe, I asked for taking photos but they don't seem to be Ok, bad.

Thanks for the Pictures and info Benjabulle, I was begining to think this car nolonger existed. Question is where you able to obtain any information on if the car was ever tested on track in late 91 early 92, and how it performed by comparison to the C291?

Officially, the C292 has never been tested. In the presentation of the cars at Sauber expo, given to the media, it is said that the C292 was immediately put in the museum after having been built.
