Equipment
Blaupunkt multiband radio, body color wheels with hubcaps and trim rings, Silvertown whitewalls, ivory steering wheel and shift knob, rear seat, fitted luggage, copy data card documented.
Condition
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.
