About this car

The 190SL was Mercedes-Benz's open two-seater companion to the 300SL Gullwing, pairing similar styling with a more modest 1,897cc four-cylinder engine. This 1961 car comes from late in production and has a manual gearbox.

It is finished in Mercedes-Benz Silver Metallic with a Navy leather interior and a Navy soft top. Period details include a Kienzle clock and a Becker Grand Prix radio, and the car sits on 13-inch wheels.

PF Autos carried out a restoration in August 2022, which the page puts at 2,000 hours. The car was supplied new in the UK and has been with its current owner since March 2013. It shows 42,756 miles and comes with its original tool kit, owner's manual, spare parts kits, two sets of keys, a spare wheel and a car cover.
