1960 Mercedes-Benz 190SL

• red paint looks glossy, even and straight with clean gaps, so no repaint or panel work is visible
• chrome bumpers, grille and body-colour hubcaps look bright, so no chrome bill is showing
• the red hardtop is shown fitted and looks glossy and well fitting, so the car presents well with the hardtop on
• the soft top shown raised in the later photos is brown, faded and creased with a yellowing rear window, so budget for a new soft top even though the hardtop hides it
• black leather seats and door panels look smooth and honest with light wear, so no full retrim is forced by the photos
• red dash, gauges and black wheel look clean and complete, so no dash work is suggested
• engine bay shows the correct four-cylinder with twin carburettors, tidy and honest rather than detailed, so no big bay spend is visible
• the underside is not shown in the sampled photos, so you cannot judge floors, sills or rust from these pictures

Money: no sold price is listed, and paint, chrome, hardtop and trim support good 190SL money - the faded brown soft top is the clear spend to deduct before calling it top money.
