1960 Mercedes-Benz 190SL
Description
The 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190SL is a beautifully refurbished roadster finished in red with a matching body-color removable hardtop, representing one of the most elegant European sports cars of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Its timeless design features flowing fenders, delicate chrome trim, signature 190SL proportions, and a refined open-air character that continues to make the model highly collectible. Extensive work included repainting, structural repairs, interior retrimming, chrome restoration, and braking-system overhaul.
Power comes from the 1.9-liter M121 Inline-Four with dual Solex carburetors, paired with a fully synchronized 4-Speed Manual transmission. The drivetrain is smooth and lively, giving the car the responsive, enjoyable character expected of a vintage Mercedes roadster. Recent work also included service to the fuel system, seals, exhaust, and engine components, adding to its appeal as a sorted driver-quality classic.
The interior is finished in black leather with matching panels and period-correct detailing, including a classic two-spoke steering wheel, VDO instrumentation, and Coco floor mats. Graceful, engaging, and highly presentable, this 190SL blends European sophistication, open-top touring enjoyment, and strong collector appeal.
