An elegantly styled and iconic 1960s roadster, previously treated to a nut and bolt mechanical and cosmetic restoration. Under the bonnet is a 1.9-litre ‘M121’ inline-four, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. This example has been with the seller for the last 10 years. The odometer indicates 10,610 kilometres, though this is the distance covered since the completion of the restoration. The car is finished in the timeless colour combination of silver with a black soft top over a red leather-trimmed cabin offset by a body-coloured dashboard and white steering wheel. It rides on a set of 13-inch steel wheels with whitewall tyres. The cabin is fitted with a Becker Europa radio, a white steering wheel, and a rare side-facing removable occasional rear seat. An electric fuel pump has been installed, though the seller notes that the car retains its original Solex carburettors. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s manual, service book, a copy of the original data sheet, photographs of the restoration, and two sets of keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition. The car was previously restored, which included respraying the bodywork, retrimming the interior, and working on the engine and mechanicals. Specific notes from the seller include: only a few and very minor stone chips on the paintwork, very mild wear on the driver’s seat, faint discolouration on the carpets, and very mild rust on two wheel caps. The seller also notes the car to be in excellent overall condition. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults, though notes that the radio has previously been repaired, an invoice for this repair is available. The car was last serviced in March 2017 at an indicated 8,957 kilometres, which included adjusting the clutch and timing, and replacing the engine oil and oil filter. Prior to this, the car was inspected and an oil service was performed in September 2013 at an indicated 3,409 kilometres. The previous service was carried out in May 2013 at an indicated 1,140 kilometres, and included replacing the engine oil and gearbox oil. A new drive belt was installed during the restoration. This Mercedes-Benz 190SL is a sophisticated open-top classic, offered for sale by its current owner of 10 years, and previously treated to a nut and bolt cosmetic and mechanical restoration. Equipped with the desirable occasional rear seat and fitted with an electric fuel pump for greater day-to-day usability, it would make for a charming weekend cruising companion, and is sure to be a welcome addition to any Mercedes-Benz collection.
