The Mercedes-Benz 190SL. together with the 300SL. made history
at the New York International Motor Sports Show in February 1954 by
being the first new production Mercedes- Benz to be unveiled
outside of Germany. The impression given by the 190SL. alongside
the bigger 300SL. was neat. sporty and with dashing lines. This was
the trait of Mercedes-Benz designers Karl Wilfret and Walter
Hacket. Despite opinions. the statistics tell their own tale as
between May 1955 and February 1963. 25. 81 of these cars were
produced - it was a huge success for Mercedes-Benz. Its engine
boasted four inline cylinders with a chain driven overhead camshaft
and two Solex 44PHH carburettors. delivering a respectable 108bhp
for that era. The body was a monocoque design. welded to the
shortened chassis of the type 180 saloon. A racing version with
aluminium doors and a small windscreen was never produced although
these parts could be ordered from the factory for weekend
racing.

This charming righthand drive 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190SL was
supplied new to the United Kingdom and registered in January 1960.
This original Mercedes is finished in black with black roof and in
the last six months has had the interior restored with new maroon
leather. the front and rear bumpers re-plated in chrome and
serviced by Rodger Edwards Motors. Amersham who are renowned
experts in classic Mercedes-Benz cars. This 190SL comes with V5C
registration document and a file containing invoices from Rodger
Edwards. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a good looking
Mercedes 190SL in excellent condition. which is ready for rallies
or long distance touring.
