Acquired by the current Mercedes-Benz collector 15 years ago, this 190SL Roadster is the recipient of an extensive multiyear, nut-and-bolt restoration completed just five years ago. The restoration was executed by noted Mercedes-Benz specialist Jeff Huber of Huber Restorations in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Needing no further attention, this 190SL Roadster will make a wonderful addition to Concours events, judged shows, or serve as a standout piece within any distinguished collection. Finished in Silver Grey Metallic, an iconic and period-correct Mercedes-Benz color, the sleek and gleaming Roadster body is complemented by classic whitewall tires and subtle chrome accents. Beneath the folding navy-blue soft top, the "like-new" fully restored interior features gray carpeting with blue piping that matches the door panels, along with the desirable factory-correct tricolor 300SL plaid cloth seats. Favored by collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy touring their 190SLs, these 300SL seats provide a wider, more comfortable fit and lend a sportier element to the car's already attractive and lustrous presence. Under the hood, a proper and tidy engine bay houses a mechanically sound 1.9-liter inline four-cylinder engine with original dual Solex carburetors. Paired with a four-speed manual gearbox, it offers an unforgettable and effortless driving experience.
