About this car

The 190 SL was Mercedes-Benz's smaller, more affordable companion to the 300 SL Gullwing, and it remains one of the most usable 1950s roadsters. This 1958 car is finished in cream with a red leather interior and comes with its matching original hardtop.

It has been with its current owner since 2005, bought from the selling dealer, and has covered only around 3,000 miles in the 20 years since. The dealer believes it was restored at about 73,000 miles, though no documentation backs this up.

The car is described as in good condition, with plenty of patina and character rather than a fresh-from-restoration finish. A deposit has been taken.
