This 190sl is one of those cars that has always been looked after, never neglected or abandoned, always cherished and maintained. I have sold and driven many 190sl over the years. This particular 190sl is one of the better driving 190sl I've had the pleasure of driving. The car was originally sold in Dortmund and then in long term Califoniaownershipuntil 2010. At that time, it was offered for sale by noted specialist, Mark Hyman. I purchased this 190sl last fall from thegentlemenwho acquired the 190sl from Mr. Hyman. Since last fall, I have put some miles on the odometer and showed the 190sl several times, including at our local Mercedes-Benz dealership during theRolex24 Hour at Daytona.
