The Appeal
In almost every department, the 190SL was a symbol for Mercedes-Benz' future. Beautifully designed, taking ample inspiration from the substantially more exclusive W198, it quickly gained a reputation for top-notch engineering, design and handling alike. While it was still an expensive luxury roadster, it was accessible enough to garner the company a significantly larger user base - with over 25,000 built.
This particular 190SL has had only two registered keepers since new and has spent its entire life in France until 2022. The car boasts an original red leather interior that has been restored by a specialist, matched up with a wonderfully evocative livery.
Mechanically, the car is in fine fettle, with a smooth-running engine and recently overhauled brakes. Partner all of that with a comprehensive history, and this marvellous roadster will no doubt prove to be a highly seductive prospect for any enthusiast.
