This Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a 1959 example of the W 121 B II roadster, the open two-seater that Mercedes-Benz built from 1955 to 1963 alongside the 300 SL. AR CARS describes it as a restored classic in technically faultless condition and shows 1,032 km on the odometer. It is offered at the Ostrava showroom in the Czech Republic, registered on Czech historic plates.
Under the bonnet sits 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. The seller quotes 77 kW, or 105 PS, and Wikipedia gives 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.
The car is finished in beige, and the gallery shows a dark green soft top, chrome bumpers, a dark leather interior and an ivory steering wheel. The seller writes that the car is in top condition after its restoration.
