The 190 SL was produced from 1955
through 1963 with Mercedes-Benz building a total of 25,881 units over the
production run; including 3,949 for the 1959 model year. The 190 SL was
marketed as more of a comfortable boulevard cruiser as opposed to the powerful
300 SL sports car. Performance was quite capable for the era with a top speed
of 110 mph and 0–60 mph times of 13.3 seconds all the while affording upwards
of 26 mpg.
Styling was intentionally similar to
its 300 SL sibling; most notably the rounded overall lines, low nose, and wide
grille with the Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star causing no one to mistake this
for any other vehicle. Luggage space was provided by a comparatively large
trunk and a roomy interior befitting its sports tourer, yet practical status in
the Mercedes-Benz hierarchy. At $3,840 it was half the price of its muscular
sibling which introduced a roadster model of its own in 1957.
This superbly presented 190 SL is
finished in an uncommon yet striking Light Green Metallic with green leather
interior and matching soft top. A four-piece set of custom-fitted luggage in
matching leather is also included. The frame-off restoration was completed by
factory-trained experts at SL Classics in Duren, Germany, using correct
Mercedes-Benz parts. No detail was ignored, including the finish of the
undercarriage and engine bay which complement the stunning paint finish and
exterior colors. The chassis, too, was completely stripped and refinished using
genuine Mercedes-Benz materials and components.
The original tool roll sheath is
included (sans tools). The car has never been shown while in the consignor’s
possession providing its new owner an excellent opportunity to do so at what
will likely be some of the finest events available. This gorgeous 190 SL has
been described as “one of the finest,” no doubt you will agree.
