The 190SL was a bit of a pig, with far too much road hugging weight to ever 
do well in competition, vintage or otherwise. The engines are now expensive 
and difficult to power tune.

If you want a race car in the 'solid' class, you'd do better to look at the 
Volvo P1800, which at least has a quite decent and tunable engine, and fairly 
readily available mechanical bits.

IMHO.
