The Mercedes Benz 190 SL is one of the most attractive European vehicles of it's time. As the 190 SL came in a various amount of color options. there are a few that stand out the most. The particular Strawberry Metallic color choice is certainly one to talk about. From 1955 to 1963. less than 26. 00 190 SLs were produced and only a hand full. less than 50. left the line with the rare color combination of Strawberry Metallic (DB 5430) over Camel Leather. Today. nearly 60 years later. it is few and far between to locate a Strawberry Metallic 190 SL. especially with the Camel Leather interior in perfect running condition.

Furthermore. this 1957 Mercedes Benz 190 SL is prime example of an excellent matching numbers historic vehicle. With a very detailed restoration completed in 2005. with receipts and write ups attached. gives this 190 SL an even more rare sight to see. This vehicle comes with a very extensive list of service records and restoration invoices. As well as a complete tool kit with the spare tire sitting properly in the trunk. In the glove box you will find the owner's manual. The chrome bumpers and trim show a true mirror finished with no defects to be found. As you move underneath the vehicle you can see the flawless under body with solid exhaust piping running from front to back. As you open the door and step into the drivers seat you first take notice to the most desired Camel leather covering the top of the dash and all the way around to the cushion below. There is nothing more exciting than turning the key to a 1957 Mercedes Benz and hearing it start up right away. Pop the front bonnet and have a peak at the immaculate engine bay. The engine runs just as it did coming off the line 57 years ago. Freshly installed are Weber carburetors which were much more desired by customers in years after production. Not to be alarmed though. the original Solex carburetors are cleaned up & packed in a box which will be included with the vehicle.

As you get in the car to drive you can clearly feel the true quality of this 190 SL. This vehicle retains the original steering wheel to make the vehicle that much more special. not refurbished or replaced in 57 years! This spectacular example makes for the perfect Sunny Sunday Driver as all lights and signals are in proper working order or the cruiser to and from the Concours.
