The perfect 190SL to drive or show!
A collector’s dream!
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 built 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.
The 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster featured here is finished in
classic and desirable Signal Red with a beautiful tan leather
interior and matching convertible top. This numbers matching 190SL
Roadster drives as well as it looks. It was restored by a renowned
restoration shop and comes with detailed restoration records as
well as its original owner’s manual, service records and
buildsheet. The original Solex carburetors also accompany this
190SL as it has been upgraded with Weber carburetors to improve the
drivability. We are proud to offer this incredible 190SL Roadster
to the most sophisticated collector, investor or enthusiast who
understands and appreciates the investment potential of this great
German classic. Classic cars have proven to be among the most
