Presented in DB125 Pearl Gray with a green interior and soft top, this 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster has had the benefit of more than 45 years of custodianship by two owners in Canada. Service records and registrations document the car’s history back to 1978. Documentation shows the car belonged to Mark Cote of Ontario, Canada, a member of the armed forces who owned the car from 1966-1987. Service records indicate that he drove the car to his numerous military posts in Canada, including in Ottawa, Halifax, Quebec and Victoria. From 1992-2011, the car was cared for by Marie and Harvey White of Ottawa, Canada. Powered by the 1.9L 4-cylinder engine, dual Solex carburetors feed the mill and a 4-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels. Complete with power brakes, a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, VDO instrumentation, bumper guards, chrome stone guards and the desirable matching luggage set, this 190SL presents in exquisite condition, a testament to the care it received over the past several decades. An obvious visual descendant from the exotic and expensive 300SL, the car also shared certain mechanical and engineering commonalities. The engine was based loosely on the 300SL’s inline 6-cylinder, and both cars featured fully independent suspensions, double wishbones in front and swing axles in the rear, and a monocoque body. First introduced in 1955, the 190SL retailed for about $4,000, a far cry from the stratospheric $12,000 a 300SL could command. The 190SL was a comfortable, easy-cruising roadster that could provide hours of enjoyment in town or on the open road. Its steering was relatively light with a responsive feel. With a nice reputation for exemplary handling and exquisite road manners, the 190SL was also easy to manage and live with, thanks to the simpler serviceability.
