Equipment
Hub caps and trim rings, dual mirrors, pushbutton Becker Highway radio.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Hardtop included but not present. Grimy, rough engine bay. Tired old paint and chrome. Dull brightwork. Decent interior other than a wrinkled dash. A reasonably presentable driver, but far from perfect and a car that certainly missed out on the high dollar restorations often lavished on 190SLs when they were worth more a few years ago.
Market commentary
190SL prices have dipped down to more reasonable levels after a big spike a few years ago, but a mediocre example like this is worth no more than the reported high bid. There are so many 190SLs that got over-the-top restorations during the hype that marginal examples like go begging. The problem is that at a price like this the cost of the nut-and-bolt restoration needed to bring top dollar will leave it permanently underwater.
