About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Meticulously and thoroughly restored to beyond perfect condition but needs new front springs to correct its forward lean. Best in Show at the 2011 190SL Group Convention, AACA Grand National and more. A trailer queen that has achieved its purpose.

Market commentary

190SLs go from record price to record price as restorations like this are lavished on them. Literally only months ago 190SLs were $40-60,000 cars, now they get $200,000 restorations and bring $200,000. Which prompts the observation, 'The car is free, all you're paying for is the over-the-top restoration.'
