Mercedes-Benz 190SL, 1957

The 190 SL was introduced in 1955 as an 'affordable alternative' to the 300 SL. Although the 190 SL shared technology with its much more expensive brother, it stood on a modified platform of the W121 sedan. Under the hood was a 1.9 litre four cylinder engine that produced 105bhp. Both the 190 SL and 300 SL found a successor in the 230 SL, which appeared in the mid-sixties. According to the factory its top speed was 171 km/h. This 1957 Mercedes 190 SL is a very beautiful example, which entered our country in 2010. This roadster underwent a complete renovation. It was given a new paint job, a completely new red leather interior. There was also a new black soft-top. The engine was replaced by an official Mercedes concession in 2015.
