About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Freshly restored and gorgeous paint, chrome, upholstery and top. The engine compartment is like new and not overdone. The way a 190 SL should be, except it didn't start after it came off the block.

Market commentary

A snapshot of the rise and decline of 190SLs, this car in essentially the same condition was sold by RM in Arizona in 2015 for $302,500, the second-highest price ever recorded at auction for a 190SL. It is no longer a gorgeous freshly restored example but its attractive colors and the underlying quality of the restoration brought a superior price in the current 190SL market, $117,700 less than it brought at the pinnacle of 190SL excitement four years ago.
