About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Freshly, accurately and thoroughly restored. Excellent clearcoat paint, attractive leather, sparkling chrome. Engine compartment is done like new. Every panel fits and lines up perfectly. The clearcoat is a little much, though.

Market commentary

Many 190SLs seen at auctions today are rushed to completion to get to market before the 190SL bubble deflates. This is not one of those. It is a thoroughly and correctly restored car with desirable accessories and presented in an attractive, subtle color that accents the 190SL's body lines. It brought a reasonable price in the current market.
