Building on the success of the 300 SL, Mercedes-Benz introduced the smaller, more affordable, 190 SL in 1954 at the New York Auto Show. Met with great fan fare, the car would become one of Mercedes-Benz’s best selling models, and remains a desirable classic today.

This 1957 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL has benefitted from a meticulously, well executed restoration, presented in black with a black soft top and tan leather interior, the car shows beautifully. Powering this Mercedes-Benz is a 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine, which is paired to a four-speed manual transmission. The car is well sorted mechanically and features the optional wind-up clock and Becker Mexico radio. This 190 SL comes from a very prominent Southern California collection and is ready for future ownership to enjoy.
