Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Becker Europa AM FM radio, two tops, transverse back seat. An erratic but presentable and usable restoration. Good repaint over old paint, pitted interior chrome but very impressive dash and instruments. Solex carbs. Even gaps all around and doors close very well. Excellent major exterior chrome.

Market commentary

The presentation of this 190SL is inconsistent. Physically sound and seemingly operatiolly in good shape, its cosmetic details were disturbingly erratic. The Jet Center bidders overlooked the inconsistencies in their bidding and that resulted in a price that deserved a slightly better car.
