I don't like it.  Notice the cars this place sells are mostly very poor run down over priced cars.  Some have potential but most are so over priced you would be upside down before you start...

Dash looks a bit too cluttered for me.
Prefer the cleaner look of original.

One may like the the dashboard or not, but this is something reversible, I guess. But for the rest it looks like a lot of external make up and very poor structure. The undercarriage is all rotten. In other words a superficial renovation that the ZF5 speed is supposed to sell >:( >:( >:(

And what is the 5 speed worth.  At a guess 10k which would bring what they are asking for a rotten 230 back to 39k still.  I dont know if there is much value in the guages?

Sure in agreement with the overall sentiment here. Why would you go to all the trouble of the crazy dash when there are so many other issues, readily apparent from the photos that need to be addressed??

What about their latest.  http://www.beverlyhillscarclub.com/1961-mercedes-benz-190sl--c-2956.htm

Interesting choice.  Not my cup of tea but guess it would please some.  The four pot was always a bit underpowered  :P

Indeed,

Here's another "Mercedes Bent"

This one is in SoCal, and I have even seen it on the street a couple of times, and at the hot rod shows of course.

Not my cup of tea, as Andy so aptly puts it.

I never did like the 190 ... Glad the Pagode/pagoda surfaced in 1963 ... As most of us are
