Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Becker Mexico radio, hardtop only, hubcaps and trim rings, Firestone radial blackwall tires, Solex carbs.

Condition

Excellent paint, interior and chrome. Engine compartment is nearly like new aside from some oxidation of unpainted surfaces that a little attention will remove. Unusually satisfying and properly presented.

Market commentary

Both the bidders and the consignor got real where this 190SL was concerned, recognizing that 190SLs days of extravagant value have passed and this is what a good example is worth.
