About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

This car claims 57,831 original miles. The paint is poor with lots of peeling along the edges, and where there isn't peeling the paint is uneven. The brightwork around the windows is heavily pitted. The interior, on the other hand is very good and still appears new in comparison to the rest of the vehicle. The wheel covers have plenty of scratches and the wheels are pitted where exposed. Represented as a full restoration, but that must have been a long time ago.

Market commentary

This is a driver quality 190SL bought for driver money. For a brief period in 2014-16, the best 190SLs were bringing over 200 grand and people started spending serious money on restorations, but things have settled down since then and this car was restored before that trend came to pass. Even at that, this is a seriously generous price to pay for a notably bad car.
