Following hot on the heels of the larger, more powerful, and significantly more expensive 300 SL, the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL was a more lifestyle-oriented, sporty convertible in comparison. Instead of the complicated, racing-derived tubular spaceframe used in the 300 SL, the 190 SL utilized a modified floor-pan of the W121 sedan. A new Inline-4 based on the 300 SL’s six-cylinder motor’s design but without its complicated direct fuel injection system provided 120hp.

With styling directly derived from the 300 SL, the new car attracted plenty of attention in and out of showrooms. Unlike the 300 SL, the 190 SL was only ever offered as a convertible, though buyers looking for a coupe-like experience could order a removable hardtop. As a more “lifestyle” oriented car, the 190 SL was (and is) a far more livable driving companion than a 300 SL. Today, the 190 SL is recognized for its phenomenal good looks and easy driving experience, making it the perfect choice for any discerning collector.

The stunning 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster featured here is finished in classic Silver-Grey (DB-180) over Black leather with a matching Black folding convertible top. This investment-grade 190 SL has been beautifully restored and is now ready to be shown or driven. With only five meticulous owners since new, an exceptional restoration, and an eye-catching color combination, this Mercedes-Benz 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 very best!
