About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Fresh repaint and new upholstery. No soft top frame. Underbody squirted with an erratic coat of chassis black. The engine compartment got pressure washed. The chassis plate is an erratically restamped repop. The lower body is heavily filled. This is a good car to avoid.

Market commentary

This lump was sold at Barrett-Jackson WestWorld in 2005 for $37,800 before the 190SL runup began. There's no telling what its history since then has been, but based upon its presentation here its history hasn't been benign. This price is all the money and then some for its condition and it has no upside at all.
