Market commentary

190SLs have been bringing some bizarre prices in mid 6 figures and in this context this results is a return to a semblance of reality. Its still expensive for an auction restored Weber carbureted 190SL, but not like some other recent transactions that defy rationality for a 105hp boulevard cruiser.
