The 190 SL is part of the W121 series and was introduced at the New York Auto Show in 1954, as a more attractively priced, less powerful variant of the legendary 300 SL Gullwing. This model was available from 1955 to 1963, and the 1960 version symbolizes the maturity of design and technology at the time. Under the hood, the 190 SL features a 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine, which produced 105 horsepower at the time. The car is equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, which adds to the driving experience by giving the driver more control and involvement. The 190 SL's design is undoubtedly one of its most attractive aspects. With its flowing lines, open roof and stylish interior, this car exudes the charm and elegance of the classic roadster concept. The interior is spacious and comfortable, with leather seats and an uncluttered dashboard that reflects the essence of functionality and style of the time. The 190 SL offered here is in drivable condition. Both the interior and exterior look generally good. Its very elegant color combination makes the car a special appearance. Several years ago several extensive works took place to bring the car to its current condition. The 190 SL is not just a car; it is a piece of history that marks Mercedes-Benz's transition into a manufacturer of luxury, high-end vehicles. Owning or even experiencing a ride in such a car is a trip back in time, a chance to relive the elegance and spirit of the 1960s.
