Mercedes-Benz 190 SL

The 190 SL was the more affordable sibling to the 300 SL, sharing its independent suspension and double-wishbone front end, with a four-cylinder engine derived from the 300's six. This right-hand-drive 1961 car is said to be one of 500 produced, with perhaps 250 surviving.

It had a full nut-and-bolt restoration in 2017 by marque specialist Premium Classic Cars, with invoices approaching £200,000 and photographic documentation of the work, plus MOT history. Upgrades include front disc brakes and Weber twin-choke carburettors in place of the original Solex units.

It is finished in Light Blue Grey (DB140) with a blue fabric hood, white wall tyres and a Poppy Red leather interior. A Becker Mexico radio with GPS navigation, an auxiliary Kenlowe fan and an uprated radiator are fitted. It shows 2,293 miles and has had six owners.
