- Full restoration

- Desirable 3-seater

- Iconic model

The 190 SL is an essential model in any collection focused on Mercedes-Benz. Its current owner patiently searched for a fully restored example to complete his collection. He discovered this example in the Frankfurt region, after it already had a full restoration carried out in Germany. Although the restoration file has been lost, an inspection of the car demonstrates the quality of the work carried out. The bodywork was stripped down and repainted in the traditional “silver grey” colour. Alignments are good and the paint job is of good quality. The underbody was treated and repainted; the running gear was restored.

On board, the interior can accommodate three people thanks to a small seat at the back. The upholstery was redone in black leather and the dashboard is complete and decorated with a Becker Mexico car radio, while a more modern car radio has been discreetly installed under the dashboard. A warning system was also fitted for safety. Under the bonnet, the 4-cylinder engine is still equipped with its Solex carburettors and we were able to witness that the car is in good working order, carefully serviced by the mechanic of this collection. Appraised in March 2024, this 190 SL deserves the attention of enthusiasts looking for a carefully and accurately restored model.
