1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a used car showing 29,303 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Ivory with a Red interior.

This 190 SL dates from the later years of a production run that ended in 1963, and it has been taken back to the specification in which it left the works. Paint, hide and mechanical numbers still agree with the original Fahrzeug-Datenkarte issued at the factory, and that card is part of the file.

Gallery Aaldering describes a thorough restoration carried right down to small details, and the period Mercedes-Benz manuals and booklets come with the car. Its instruments read in miles per hour, a clue to an early life outside continental Europe.

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.
