About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

A sharp, fresh restoration with great cosmetics and particularly sharp but not overdone engine compartment. A real showpiece.

Market commentary

White car, whitewall tires, white accented hubcaps sounds like it would be bland, but it is not. Instead it's an unusually effective color for the 190SL body, even better with the rich Burgundy interior. Yet even that wasn't enough to offset the slumping desire for 190SLs, another chic collectible that has fallen from grace as supply caught up with and now exceeds demand.
