1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL for Sale in Sweden

This 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a used car. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Red with a Black interior.

This 190 SL has spent its whole life in Sweden. The painter Hans Ripa, founder of Ripagården near Båstad, was among its first owners; a buyer in Växjö followed at the end of 1981, and from 1993 a collector in Värnamo kept it in his private vehicle museum. The five-digit odometer has already passed 100,000 km once.

A repaint from the late 1980s still presents well, despite blisters on the rear wing and boot lid, chipped chrome on the rear bumper and a mark low on the left door. The original interior details remain, the black seats probably retrimmed. Last inspected without remark in 2016, it was recently started and driven, and the seller advises a service after the long rest.

The car is located in Täby, Sweden.

The 190 SL was the affordable answer to the 300 SL, sharing its styling and its fully independent suspension for a fraction of the price. Mercedes-Benz built 25,881 of them at Stuttgart and Untertürkheim between 1955 and 1963, when the 230 SL replaced both cars; the design is credited to Karl Wilfert and Walter Häcker.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 190 SL in the European market

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

At €89,300, it sits below the median of €150,000 for the 7 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. 0% 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 Sweden and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Täby, Sweden. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold 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.

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 €89,300, 959% 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.

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

a 1957 car in the Netherlands at €119,000, and a 1960 car in the Netherlands at €139,500. 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?

Bilgrossen, a professional dealer in Täby, Sweden. 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 Täby, Sweden, 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.
