This 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL is a US-market example that was built
on April 25, 1961 and was acquired by the seller in 2014. The
previous owner was the proprietor of a California body shop, where
the body was stripped and repainted prior to the seller's purchase.
Optioned from the factory as a coupe with a removable hardtop and
without a soft top, the car is finished in white over red. Power is
provided by a model-correct replacement 1.9-liter inline-four,
which is equipped with Mikuni carburetors and backed by a 4-speed
manual gearbox. Service in 2019 included an oil change, tune-up,
carburetor adjustment, and lubrication, as well as installing new
engine mounts and tires. This W121 is now offered in Vancouver with
records from the last five years, refurbishment photos, a
refinished soft top frame, a copy of the build sheet, and British
Columbia registration. This listing is live now, and only for 7
days, so take a look at the current bidding and live discussion
