The seller offers for sale this 1960 Mercedes Benz 190SL Cabriolet equipped with a 1.9-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine and a manual transmission. The car underwent a total restoration, dismantled to the last bolt and rebuilt to a good condition. The body was repainted in a metallic blue shade, a non-original but tasteful choice that enhances its appeal. The paint remains glossy with minimal imperfections, reflecting careful maintenance and garage storage under cover. The interior has been redone in camel tones. All instruments and the radio are in working order. The engine was rebuilt and recently serviced, including a valve adjustment and tune-up. The soft top is in fine condition and fits neatly, ensuring the classic cabriolet charm is preserved for open-air driving.
The Mercedes Benz 190SL was introduced in the mid-1950s as a refined, stylish alternative to the 300SL. It offered timeless design, reliable mechanics, and effortless driving comfort. Admired for its graceful proportions and balanced handling, the 190SL became a symbol of postwar European elegance. Collectors appreciate its solid engineering, dependable four-cylinder engine, and usability on modern roads. Its combination of beauty and drivability continues to make it one of the most desirable classic Mercedes models.
