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.
