Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Visually stunning 190SL with superb paint and interior. Correct Solex carbs, no radio, good panel fits, very clean engine compartment. Then look under it and its glopped with undercoat and liberally coated with oil. Oops.

Market commentary

The visuals had their effect and brought good money from the bidders, a result which is probably correct for the impression the car will create for an owner driver, but may be a bit much if the mechanicals dont measure up to the paint.
