Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Modified for racing. Driver's big aeroscreen, Nardi wood-rim steering wheel, 185/80R14 Michelin MXT tires, no bumpers, no top, lightweight doors and hood, Weber carbs, leather upholstery.

Condition

Sporty little creation with very good paint and interior. Tidy underbody splashed with fresh sealer. Chassis and suspension done nearly like new, as is the engine.

Market commentary

This 190SL probably does not suffer from having only 105hp, but it has been built to make a visual statement, not to any larger purpose and is worth no more than the price it brought here today. It will be much more fun to drive than a standard 190SL on sunny days, however, being both lighter and more powerful. Just don't take it out when there's risk of rain.
