1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a used car showing 670 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Anthracite Grey with a Tan interior.

A German Mercedes-Benz specialist spent four years restoring it from bare metal, and it has covered only about 650 km since the work was signed off. The data card confirms that the car's numbers match, and its chain of owners is known from new, when it was first sold in the Netherlands.

Anthracite grey paint is set against tan leather. The finish reaches places few people look: asked why he polished the underside, the last owner answered that he enjoyed seeing his own reflection there.

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.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 190 SL in the European market

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

At €189,500, it sits above the median of €158,750 for the 6 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. 83% 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 the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or 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 €189,500, with no VAT basis stated by the seller, so no percentage comparison is given. 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?

670 km recorded, against a median of 3,375 km across the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

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

a 1960 car in the Netherlands at €178,500, and a 1956 car in Germany at €167,500. 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?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. 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 Brummen, Netherlands, 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.
