Description
Sometimes you come across special things, and this is certainly one of them.
This is a Mercedes 190 SL from the first owner, who bought the car new when he was 25 years old. He ordered the car with all the options: electric antenna, third seat, Becker Mexico radio, and he left the hardtop in the original factory crate. The crate still has the original stickers and texts from Mercedes. The hardtop is dark blue, which combines beautifully with the gray bodywork, the blue leather and the blue hardtop.
A few years later he bought a Mercedes 230 SL Pagode, in exactly the same version as the 190 SL (we also bought this car). In 1969 he deregistered the 190 SL and put it to rest. In 1990 he brought the car to Mercedes to have the technology completely restored and the exterior repainted. After that he drove it for a few more years, but only occasionally for a pleasant ride. Now, after his death, the cars were allowed to be sold.
The 190 SL still has the first leather, the interior is in original condition, the bottom is as good as new and the hardtop is original. The car still has its first German license plate and has driven 113, 000 km. The original booklets are included. The chrome is beautifully original and the seams are tight. The paintwork is still in excellent condition. The soft top is as good as new, and the soft top cover has been replaced because the original one was gone. The leather is original and beautifully patinated.
