1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a used car showing 2,171 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Anthrazitgrau with a Cognac interior.

It was fully restored in Germany by a specialist who aimed for correctness rather than showroom glitter, so the car looks right instead of overdone. The numbers match, checked against the original Wagenkarte, which gives the restoration real authenticity as well as visual appeal.

Anthrazitgrau with cognac-brown leather is a classic, understated pairing, and the ivory steering wheel adds the right period note. Panel fit, the quality of the trim, the details under the bonnet and the way each material has been applied all show work where near enough was never accepted.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

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.
