1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL for Sale in Czechia

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.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 190 SL in the European market

Is this Mercedes-Benz 190 SL priced above or below the European market?

At CZK 4,390,000, about €181,794, it sits above the median of €139,500 for the 14 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. 86% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

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

The car is located in Ostrava, Czechia. The dealer quotes it as: Margin scheme, VAT not shown. 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.

How much did this Mercedes-Benz 190 SL cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €8,436 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at CZK 4,390,000, 2055% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1955 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz 190 SL compare?

1,032 km recorded, against a median of 5,469 km across the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz 190 SL are priced closest to this one?

a 1960 car in the Netherlands at €178,500, and a 1961 car in the Netherlands at €189,500. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

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

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.

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