The Mercedes-Benz 190SL was powered by a 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine that was mated to twin Solex Carburetors and produced 120 horsepower. Top speed was 105 mph. Whereas the 300 SL had been bred for the race track, the 190 SL was best suited for touring, and came with copious amounts of luggage space, despite having a convertible top.
This matching-numbers example was given a restoration in SL-Classics, in Düren, Germany. The no-expense-spared work brought the car back to a concours level, with emphasis placed on maintaining as many original components as possible. It is finished in Tunis Beige (DB 46) with a black leather interior. It has a factory removable black hardtop, a black canvas soft top, black hub caps, a complete tool kit, an owner's manual, and rare fitted luggage that match the interior.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2017
