About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Very good paint and chrome. Seat covering is loosely fitted. Orderly and clean engine compartment. Underbody has old, peeling paint and undercoat. A pretty but superficial fresh cosmetic redo.

Market commentary

Offered at Mecum's 2014 Indy sale where it had a reported bid of $125,000, exactly what it brought here in Las Vegas. A sound and largely correct 190SL, but only superficially cosmetically restored even though the paint and chrome are very good. Its price reflects the somewhat amazing values of 190SLs today. It's a lot of money to pay for a 105hp boulevard cruiser. Why? Think what driving and show-off pleasure this much would buy in a Mid-Year or straight axle Corvette.
