About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Very good paint. Good chrome, but there is oxidation in the hard to polish areas. Clean and well detailed engine bay. Interior smells brand new. Restored underbody. Serviced last year. Restored longer ago but it still looks fresh. A one-owner car until 2012, and even comes with original tire pressure gauges, owner's manual and owner's service policy.

Market commentary

The high bid was on the cheap side for a car this good, but this was a no reserve lot. This kind of money normally buys a 190SL with more compromises, so it's a sound buy even in a declining 190SL market.
