As the brainchild of legendary European car importer Max Hoffman, the first Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster was designed to serve as a more lifestyle-oriented complement to the outlandish 300SL Gullwing Coupe. Hoffman bet on the racing-oriented Gullwing’s curvaceous shape, allowing both the hardtop coupe and the subsequent roadsters to share a design language that was unique to the Stuttgart automaker in the early 1950s. Both the six-cylinder 300SL and four-cylinder 190SL models were marketed, but the less expensive latter vastly outsold its “big brother,” proving that Hoffman’s knack for success was unparalleled among automobile importers. Both the 190SL and the 300SL were virtually identical cosmetically in roadster form and thus gave birth to the legendary SL class of Mercedes-Benz models.
The magnificent 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL roadster featured here is finished in classic and desired German Silver over black leather interior and matching folding convertible top. This investment-grade 190 SL has been beautifully restored to an extremely high level and is now ready to be shown or driven. With only three meticulous owners since new, incredible restoration and highly desired color combination make this the perfect example to add to any premier collection; because of this I personally believe the investment potential of this iconic Mercedes-Benz will grow beyond your imagination. Offered to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the best!
