Equipment
Weber carburetors, Blaupunkt AM FM. Superficial cosmetic attention with a quick and casual repaint. Rust blister in front of passengers door, old rubber seals reused, horn ring pitted, overspray in trunk and black spray bombed underhood over cracked and peeling old paint and everything else. Good interior. Scary car cataloged with VIN 1210425501425.
Market commentary
There were a number of pretty ragged cars in the tent at Brookline, but none as superficially presented as this 190SL. A lick and a promise is the best description, although auction car is also appropriate. Described in the catalog as restored ... to the highest standard, it is in fact a benchmark for mediocrity and superficiality. The price is a gift.
