1955 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL for Sale in Germany

This 1955 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a used car. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Blue with a Blue interior.

An early 190 SL from the first year of production: according to its data card, it was registered for the first time on 19 October 1955 in Schwandorf, Bavaria. Its numbers and its colour scheme still match the specification in which it was delivered, and it keeps its original fitted luggage.

An SL specialist restored it completely over several years, using nothing but genuine Mercedes-Benz parts that he gathered from around the world over some fifteen years, so that every detail is as it was in 1955. Its early build date makes it eligible for the Mille Miglia.

The car is located in Berlin, Germany.

The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL uses the 1,897 cc M121 BII inline-four with a single overhead camshaft driven by a duplex chain, bore and stroke 85 by 83.6 mm, breathing through two Solex 44PHH twin-choke sidedraught carburettors, rated at 105 PS (77 kW) at 5,700 rpm and 142 Nm at 3,200 rpm, and a top speed of 173 km/h, with a four-speed fully synchronised manual gearbox with the lever between the seats, rear-wheel drive and a 3.90:1 axle.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 190 SL in the European market

Can this Mercedes-Benz 190 SL be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Berlin, Germany. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, and how does a purchase work?

Thiesen, a professional dealer in Berlin, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 190 SL be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Berlin, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Mercedes-Benz 190 SL still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Thiesen before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in Germany?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Mercedes-Benz 190 SL market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 190 SL, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
