Truly Breathtaking 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Convertible
New to our Pleasanton showroom is this highly impressive 1962
Mercedes-Benz 190SL 2 Door Convertible with burgundy exterior paint
and a cream leather interior. You'll find a factory 1.9L four
cylinder engine under the hood along with a matching 4-speed manual
transmission, both of which have been completely rebuilt within the
last 1,000 miles. This desirable classic is in outstanding overall
condition as well and it is ready to be enjoyed immediately by a
new owner.
Enjoyed & Maintained by Current Owner Since 1971
The current owner has enjoyed this 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL
Roadster since 1971 as the 2nd lifetime owner. It's a highly
original example with what the owner tells us is the
numbers-matching drivetrain in place plus many of the factory
accessories and trim pieces. It is in exceptional condition
throughout with show-quality paint, exceptional body lines and a
gorgeous factory interior.
The 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL is highly sought after by collectors
due to being a hybrid of the sporty 300SL roadster and the 180C
sedan. Its excellent performance and handling comes from its
independent rear suspension and peppy four cylinder engine with
dual Solex carburetors. This particular example is largely a
survivor that has only seen minor levels of restoration throughout
the years, it has been repainted once in its lifetime with some
other minor refreshing, but otherwise this amazing roadster has
remained unmolested.
Only 1,000 Miles on Fully Restored Factory Drivetrain
As we previously mentioned earlier, this 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL
Convertible had the entire drivetrain rebuilt within the last 1,000
miles including the factory motor and transmission. It performs out
on the open road like a brand new classic vehicle with nice
acceleration and a very smooth ride quality. It needs nothing to be
enjoyed in a prestigious collection right away- the attention to
detail is outstanding throughout.
Likewise, the body of this 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL borders on
immaculate with excellent body lines and unblemished trim. The
exterior paint and convertible top are also in excellent shape as
is the well-kept factory interior with factory wood-grain inserts
and the correct instrument panels. The seating shows only the
slightest signs of wear and nothing to detract from the overall
prestige of this desirable classic. It's simply a beautiful
vehicle.
An Incredible Find at a Sensational Price
Overall, this 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL 2 Door Convertible is one of
the most impressive examples we've seen in years and it needs
nothing to be driven or enjoyed right away. Due to the extensive
restoration costs of these classics, this beautiful roadster is a
true steal at the current asking price and it's going to make one
lucky collector fall in love with it. For more information about
