1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL
The Mercedes-Benz 190SL is one of the most admired European classics of the 1950s and 60s, offering graceful styling, advanced engineering and everyday usability that made it a favourite among enthusiasts worldwide. Positioned as a stylish companion to the legendary 300SL, the 190SL has become a highly collectible classic in its own right.
This example is a 1961 model, imported from the USA, and retains its original 1.9-litre inline-four twin-carburettor engine paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. Presented in left-hand drive, it carries the elegance and character that made the 190SL such an enduring icon.
Restoration Status
The car has undergone a body-off chassis restoration, now presented in primer, ready for a respray in the colour of your choice. Importantly, the vendor advises it is rust-free, offering an excellent foundation for a full restoration. The car is currently non-running, with keys supplied, leaving the finishing touches in the hands of its next custodian.
