Description
What do you get when you combine timeless design, German engineering, and a top-tier restoration? The answer is this stunning 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster. An icon of the fifties and sixties, now given a completely new lease on life thanks to an extensive, professional bare-metal restoration completed in 2024–2025. And with fewer than 100 kilometers driven since completion, this car is as close to new as it gets.
Let’s start with the exterior. The body was stripped down to bare metal before every panel was meticulously restored and resprayed in an elegant Anthracite Grey Metallic. It’s a color that perfectly complements the flowing, timeless lines of the 190 SL. The panel gaps are tight and consistent, and the fit of the doors, hood, and trunk is exactly as it should be. All chrome elements have been renewed and now gleam with flawless brilliance.
The interior is just as striking. Completely reupholstered with high-quality materials, it features a rich Mittelrot leather that creates a striking contrast with the exterior. From the seats to the door panels, carpets to the dashboard, every inch shows attention to detail. For a closer look, we invite you to browse the photo gallery on our website. The dashboard and oversized steering wheel instantly transport you back to the refined atmosphere of the 1960s.
Under the hood is the fully rebuilt 1. 9-liter four-cylinder engine, producing around 105 horsepower. Everything about this car feels tight and precise, from the engine response to the gear shifts, from the braking to the suspension. This is a restored Mercedes-Benz that truly feels the way it was originally meant to. No question about it.
The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL has long been a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. A stylish alternative to the 300 SL, but with a distinct personality and plenty of charm. This fully restored example is a textbook case of how extraordinary that can be.
