I'm kinda dumbfounded myself. As a 190 SL owner of over 25 years, I normally watch these. But I missed this one. So many questions. I knew Bruce quite well. I just have a hard time believing that this was one of Bruce's \"body off\" restorations. The hose clamps are a dead giveaway. Just so many glaring issues... That being said, it's WAY nicer than my car.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1660100420, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9244288, "authorName": "Lovedrivinfast", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/lovedrivinfast/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Congratulations on a nice buy I figured it would do $185-$215k is there a better looking classic convertible ever made?

I will watch for your comments on future auctions, as it seems you are in the know. I know it's not a fast car, but I assume it is quite enjoyable and comfortable to drive. The look is so classic. I've always been 911 and 356 oriented, but the 190's light my fire. But I would want some receipts and documentation on anything I'm interested in.
