The story behind this collectible...
"A roadster for those who appreciate both beauty and engineering." - Mercedes Benz
Let's take a step back in time, to the year 1959. The smell of freshly ground coffee fills the air, coming from the lively coffee houses where people gather on a spring morning. The sound of a soft roar draws the attention of passersby. A sleekly lined Mercedes-Benz, with the iconic star proudly displayed on its grille, turns the corner and gracefully comes to a stop in the middle of the boulevard. Gaze follows the elegant lines of the car. There stands the 190SL, the elegant and stylish counterpart to its big brother, the legendary 300SL.
The 190SL, which had its origins in the design of the Mercedes "Pontoon," was first unveiled at the New York auto show. A year later, in Geneva, the production version was presented to the general public. Remarkably, this beautiful roadster was positioned not as a pure sports car, but as a luxurious, comfortable two-seater. This proved to be a golden move-between 1955 and 1963, more than 25,000 examples left the German production line, each with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship.
This Cool Classic has received full technical attention. Maintained with care and love, every effort has been made to bring it to top technical condition. Although the paint job is somewhat outdated, this does not detract from the charm and quality of the car. The car is all set for wonderful enjoyable drives. Can we leave that to you?
