Description
The Mercedes 190SL for sale here is an iconic luxury sports car that epitomizes elegance and style. Introduced in 1955, the 190SL was designed to be a more affordable alternative to the exclusive Mercedes 300SL. Despite its lower price tag, the 190SL still exuded sophistication and captured the hearts of car enthusiasts around the world.
One of the most striking features of the Mercedes W121 190SL is its sleek and timeless design. It boasts flowing lines, a long hood, and a short tail, giving it a classic roadster appearance. The car's body is made of steel, with aluminium doors, hood, and trunk lid to reduce weight. The 190SL's distinctive chrome grille, prominent Mercedes emblem, and elegant round headlights add to its undeniable charm.
Under the hood, the 190SL is powered by a 1. 9-liter inline-four engine, which delivers a respectable 105 horsepower. While not as powerful as its big brother, the Mercedes 300SL, the 190SL still offers a thrilling driving experience. It is equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, providing smooth gear shifts and engaging driving dynamics.
Inside the cabin, the 190SL features a luxurious and comfortable interior. The seats are upholstered in high-quality leather, and the dashboard is adorned with chrome accents and gauges that exude a sense of timeless sophistication. Despite being a two-seater, the 190 SL offers ample space for both the driver and passenger, making it suitable for long-distance journeys.
The Mercedes 190SL's popularity stems not only from its stunning aesthetics and performance but also its status as a collectible classic car. Its rarity and timeless appeal have made it highly sought after by car enthusiasts and collectors alike. Over the years, the 190SL has become a symbol of automotive excellence and a testament to Mercedes-Benz's commitment to craftsmanship and luxury.
Exterior: The 1960 Mercedes 190SL for sale here is in the fantastic colour 158G which is also referred to as “Weiss Grau”. The colour looks stunning with the red leather interior. The paintwork was made many years ago and still looks very nice today. The chrome details are Mercedes original and in excellent condition and so is the black soft top. Rolling on a set of proper Michelin tyres with good thread. All glass is clear and free from chips. The rubber and seals around the car are fresh and all panels shut like a Mercedes should.
Interior: Inside the Mercedes W121 is a nice clean original loop style red carpet and a red leather that I assume must have been replaced some time over the years. It has today gained a little bit of patina and suits the overall condition of the car very well. The instruments are super clean and all the little chrome details are like new. It is a very satisfying feeling to sit in behind the steering wheel. All the gauges are doing their job, even the clock.
Engine: Back in 1970, when the owner was out driving in Europe, he thought that the engine was consuming a bit more oil than normal. So, he stopped by Mercedes in Ludwigshafen Germany and there they replaced the engine with a new exchange engine. According to the receipts from Mercedes, this was back in 1970 and the km on the car then was 94, 837 and today it just around 130, 000. The car is absolutely fantastic to drive. It has very good power and the gearbox is very precise.
History: This Mercedes 190SL was sold new here in Sweden and there has been only one owner since. It has been regularly maintained its entire life. However, over the last decade it has been driven less and less. Still, it was taken to the Technical Control every year. This vintage Mercedes comes with a briefcase full of documents collected over the years. The original handbook and original spare etc.
