About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

With the first owner until 2013. Sound but microblistered paint, good original upholstery. Scratched right front fender. Delaminating windshield. Dirty original underbody. Sound chrome. A sound largely original car that needs paint.

Market commentary

In the quest for originality it doesn't get much better than this and the fact it brought barely low six figures shows that the fascination for 190SLs may be recognizing the reality of their numbers and performance. Restoration would squander much of the value in this 190SL.
