About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good fresh repaint, worn and stretched but sound old leather seats and interior panels. Good steering wheel. Very good bright chrome. Foggy gauge lenses, flaking oil pressure gauge face. Engine compartment is orderly. Underbody has been freshly squirted gloss black over old undercoat. Quickly done to take advantage of the 190SL's current popularity.

Market commentary

Looks good from 20 feet but the closer you get the more is wrong and that doesn't support spending this much. Starting on anything will soon lead to doing everything until the car and its owner are well and truly underwater. The best thing to do with the 190SL is to flip it, fast before the fad fades.
