Color Exterior
In Strawberry Red Metallic, this Mercedes-Benz 190 SL shows a particularly elegant and rare side. The unusual colour scheme impressively accentuates the flowing roadster silhouette and underlines its proximity to the legendary 300 SL. The 190 SL picked up on its striking design language and combined it with an independent character that was more suitable for everyday use.
Under the long bonnet is a 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine with overhead camshaft and 105 hp. Two Solex carburettors and the fully synchronised four-speed gearbox give the classic roadster its unmistakable character. This example, which was first registered in 1958, was restored in the 1990s, always cared for and serviced and today presents itself in beautiful overall condition.
