1960 | Mercedes-Benz 190SL
Overview
This 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190SL arrives finished in Black over Parchment leather. Beautifully repainted under previous ownership in its original color code, much new and re-chromed exterior brightwork accent this roadster's iconic contours. Beneath its matching Parchment soft top and leather boot trim, a White steering wheel and shift knob cap off the picture-perfect cabin. A body color dashboard, VDO instrumentation & dash clock, plus updated AM/FM/CD audio pair with trim throughout.

Body and chassis components display appropriate finishes, while the car’s 1.9L power plant is fed by twin Solex carburetors. 4-speed manual shifting sends power rearward, with motivation matched by finned brake drums behind painted steel wheels and body color Black/chrome hubcaps. BF Goodrich Silvertown whitewall tires look the part, connecting driver inputs to the road. Showing 443 miles indicated by its five-digit odometer, this Mercedes-Benz 190SL is sold with factory literature, service records from current ownership, a Seller’s Disclosure, and tool kit.

Alongside its competition-proven 300SL, the Mercedes-Benz debuted the 190SL roadster to wide acclaim with unparalleled luxury and refinement for a sports car of the era. Unveiled at the 1954 New York International Motor Sports Show, the new model marked Mercedes-Benz’s return to the fore of aspirational motoring. Monocoque construction, a novel rear suspension design, and vogue styling positioned the 190 as a clear winner in its class.
