About this car

A 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, the W121 roadster that paired 300 SL styling with a more modest 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine. This is an original right-hand-drive car, finished in white and fitted with a manual gearbox, and it has had eight previous owners.

It was extensively restored in 2007 by Mercedes specialist Silchester Garage. The work included a bare-metal respray, an engine rebuild with conversion to unleaded fuel, and a new exhaust. Photographs and invoices for this work are said to be in the history file.

More recent additions are four new tyres, a replacement hood, seats and new carburettors. The page gives the mileage as 105,801 km, and MOT is valid until June 2027.
