The car presented here was delivered in Lauf/ Pegnitz (Germany) in April 1956 and was only registered in Germany thereafter. In 2020, the 190 SL was completely restored to new car standard by a German specialist company and has not been driven since. In the process, a maximum of originality was preserved and thus the engine and colour scheme correspond to the delivery condition. Extensive photo documentation of the restoration and the delivery data card are available. Here we offer the rare opportunity to acquire a top-restored car with which you, as the new "first owner", can immediately set off on your next tour. In this case, you could even take part in the Mille Miglia, for which the car is eligible due to its early year of construction. Of course, the car will be delivered with German papers, new MOT and H-approval.
Together with its "big brother" - the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL - the 190 SL was presented to the public at the New York "International Motor Sports Show" in 1954. Of the more than 25, 000 examples produced, a large proportion went to the USA and delighted customers there as an elegant "sports touring car" – including icons of the time such as Grace Kelly. With its sporty design, comfortable seating position and ample space, the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL still fascinates all classic car enthusiasts today who are looking for a stylish and comfortable vehicle for their next weekend trip.
