Such a beautiful example of what a proper restoration can accomplish! These are such beautiful cars. This will be a fascinating 4 hours. Not quite my thing because of my love of speed and 100 hp doesn't quite do it for me but certainly see the value here. Good luck!

To have the engine rebuilt by Metric Motors and restoration by F40...will cost 3 times the current bid amount. Not sure why such low bidding for such an exquisite car.

I’ve seen this car personally and she is a stunner. Immaculate is an understatement. The dashboard looks like a Cartier Jewel set. The red leather interior is lush and inviting. The engine bay and undercarriage are spotless. Zero rust. I’d go on, but I’m in an intense negotiation with my wife in the waning moment of this auction.

@FerrariMaster You have bailed on a number of nice cars. I doubt that you'll find one nicer than this so it is worth going to the mat this time.

@Nery The 190SL was only ever delivered with a Solex PHH 44 carburetor. Look at picture #238, you can see the correct carburetor there.

I see a photo apparently taken pre refurbishment showing a hardtop. But none of the new photos show it. Is it with the car? And if not, where did it go?
