Mercedes-Benz 190 SL 1958

The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL (W121) is a two-door luxury Roadster produced by Mercedes-Benz between May 1955 and February 1963. Internally referred to as W121 (Bii or B2), he was first shown as a prototype on the 1954 New York Auto Show, and was available with an optional removable hardtop. The 190 SL was an attractive, more affordable alternative to the exclusive Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, with the same basic styling, technology, detailing and completely independent wheel suspension. Both cars had double support arms in front and rocking axles at the back. Instead of the expensive, specially built W198 tubular space frame of the 300 SL, the R121 structure of the 190 SL used a disguised unitary base plate that was adapted from the W121-Basissalon. This Mercedes 190 SL is in a moving condition. This car has been on Dutch license plate since 1961 and has since had only 2 owners. Both the interior and exterior generally look neat. It is equipped with original Solex carburetors. There are booklets and several keys. The car is exempt from MOT.
