About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Chips and scuffs at the bottom edges of the hardtop. Handful of small chips at the left edge of the hood, decent older chrome. Wiper scratches on the windshield. Good interior, but worn door panels. A little dirty underneath. An older restored driver with an incorrect VIN on the car card.

Market commentary

190SL prices may have fallen off after their big surge, but this is downright cheap even for a flawed car. This is an attractive driver for project car money, but it is a huge hit for someone along the way, having sold at Gooding's Pebble Beach auction in 2011 ($50-80,000 estimate) for a bank account draining $143,000 in a charity sale (donated by Sheryl Crow) for the Community Foundation of the Ozarks.
