1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL for Sale in Germany

This 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a used car showing 21,698 km. It is powered by a 1,884 cm³ petrol engine rated at 105 PS (77 kW). It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Silver metallic with a Red interior. It is a 2-seat car and has had 4 previous owners.

Delivered new in white and first registered in Germany in October 1960, this 190 SL still comes with its original cardboard registration document and its service booklet. Apart from a short lay-up in the spring of 1969, it stayed on German plates until 1989, then left for Austria, where it was restored in depth and its owner chose Mercedes-Benz silver in place of the factory white.

The restoration was completed in 2016. A client of the seller bought the roadster soon after and took it out only now and then, on fine days and on classic car tours. The seller still rates its overall condition as excellent.

The car is located in Düsseldorf, Germany.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 190 SL in the European market

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

At €107,500, it sits below the median of €129,250 for the 10 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. 30% 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 Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Düsseldorf, Germany. 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 €107,500, 1174% 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?

21,698 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 higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

a 1957 car in the Netherlands at €119,000, and a 1961 car in the Netherlands at €94,950. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

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