Market commentary
The fascination with 190SLs has brought cars crawling out of hiding places, through restoration shops that could find a place on quickie TV restoration shows to catch the wave. This is one of them, a car that might prove to deliver a satisfying ownership experience, but also might not. It would have been a better bet at $150,000, even in today's hot 190SL market.
