GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1958 Mercedes-Benz
190SL, finished in striking Fire Engine Red over a black leather
interior. The 190SL was Mercedes' answer to the growing demand for
a stylish and approachable grand tourer, offering the looks and
presence of its famous sibling, the 300SL, in a more accessible
package. This example highlights the model's elegance with its
paint-matched removable hardtop, contrasting black convertible top,
chrome bumpers and accents, and red-and-chrome hubcaps that
perfectly capture the late-1950s European sports car aesthetic.
Power comes from the 1.9L I4 paired to a 4-speed manual
transmission, delivering smooth and reliable performance for
relaxed touring. Everything about the 190SL was designed with
balance in mind, where the 300SL was a raw sports machine, the
190SL offered a more approachable and refined driving experience.
This example benefits from a recent engine reconditioning, ensuring
that its drivetrain remains in excellent operating condition.
Inside, the cabin showcases the best of period Mercedes-Benz luxury
with all-new correct black leather upholstery and a Becker Curona
stereo. True to its era, the car features manual operation
throughout, with the focus on the purity of the driving experience
rather than excess amenities. The design is elegant yet
understated, making it as much of a pleasure to sit in as it is to
drive.
This 190SL has been well cared for, with a complete undercarriage
restoration performed in 2022 and a high-quality repaint in 2010.
These restorations were carried out with attention to originality,
ensuring that the car retains its authenticity while remaining
ready for road use or display. Produced from 1955 to 1963, the
190SL quickly established itself as a cultural icon, adored for its
timeless styling and approachable Mercedes engineering. Today, it
remains a cornerstone in any serious collection of European
classics. Please call or email us today for more information.
