Market commentary

Turn back the clock to a decade ago when 190SLs were just Teutonic T-birds and modifying one for historic racing or track days was a reasonable economic decision. That was then, this is now, and this is a sound 190SL begging to get its road touring equipment back and lose the go-fast stuff. The price leaves it as a realistic project.
