The 190 SL you see here dates back to May 18, 1960… in the Netherlands! Yes, a real original Dutch Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, a rarity.

In 1955, when the Mercedes-Benz 300SL had already been on the market as a closed coupe for a few years, the German company decided to come up with an affordable two-seater whose design was strongly inspired by its pricey and advanced big brother. The 190SL, which is only available as a convertible, is equipped with a 1, 897 cc four-cylinder engine that is linked to a four-speed manual gearbox. Unlike the 300SL, the 190SL is not equipped with a tubular chassis but uses a shortened chassis from the W121 sedan as a basis.

This silver-gray 190SL is in excellent condition and has already been optically and technically overhauled in the past. The bodywork looks neat, with fresh paint and excellent fits of the sheet metal parts. The chrome work also looks neat. The color combination makes the SL a real ‘Silverpfeile’. The beautiful wheels with neat wheel covers and tires with wide whitewalls give the car a very classic look. The black soft top also looks very neat, it appears to have been recently renewed.

Mercedes-Benz has designed a fantastic interior for the 190SL, with a dashboard largely in paint color that houses beautiful meters. Furthermore, the extensive use of leather in the interior dominates. The top of the stylish dashboard, door panels and of course the seats: beautiful red leather decorates the interior and carpet in the same color completes it. The interior has a beautiful patina without nasty damage. The upholstery is beautifully marked by time, while the chairs are still very comfortable. Originality is the atmosphere that prevails in the interior, even though it has all been addressed in the past. The VDO meters are clearly visible and in top condition, both optically and functionally. What an ambiance, what class.

The engine compartment looks very fresh and the engine is free of any form of leakage. A beautiful power source to look at, this four-cylinder with its double carburettors. The engine, just like the gearbox and drivetrain, has already been overhauled and produces approximately 105 hp. This makes it possible to reach a top speed of just over 170 km/ h. But honestly: those are not the speeds at which this SL brings out the best in itself. Sporty touring on beautiful rolling roads, crossing beautiful villages, sometimes stretching your legs and especially looking back when you walk away from the car: what a stunning and stylish appearance.

This 190 SL can be described as a fantastic driver’s car with which you can have a lot of fun. The external condition is also very satisfying, so you will always look back when you walk away from the car. What a picture!
