Description

Gallery Junction is pleased to offer this 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster.
Following the success of the 300 SL, legendary Mercedes-Benz importer Max Hoffman proposed that a similarly styled, less costly alternative might be an appropriate model for the marque’s lineup. The resulting 190 SL featured styling that was derived from its big brother Gullwing. The more affordable younger sibling proved to be popular with the public at the 1954 New York Auto Show and remained in strong demand throughout its nine-year production run.
Upon driving the car, the 190 SL was best suited for touring, as it featured a copious amount of luggage space despite also having a convertible top. Cruising was effortless, allowing both driver and passenger to arrive at their final destination in supreme comfort.
The example offered here is a very unique car. There are several 190's out there that have been pulled apart and restored. Once they are pulled apart they lose that factory level of tightness that makes them drive so well. This car has never been pulled apart, simply maintained as needed, driven and enjoyed. Consequently, it drives so well. It is extremely tight and solid with no squeaksor rattles and has plenty of power thanks to the addition of Weber Carburetors. It is finished in its original and classic color of Ivory over Black Leather and a Black soft top as well as its included Ivory Hardtop. This is a car not to be missed.
