1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL

This 190 SL was purchased out of a collection by Classic Car Studio two years ago and has become a pet project since then. The car was a very nice original car that has always been registered in the area since new. What started off as getting the SL "tuned up" and roadworthy ended up turning into a complete restoration of the car. We fell in love with it along the way, and went down the rabbit hole. Luckily, the next owner will benefit from a very nicely done, roadworthy example. The car is truly a pleasure the drive and the little engine runs as smooth as they come.

The 190SL is a genuine DB40(black) over 641(red) interior with the rare factory hardtop option.

The engine is original to the car.
