Description Stylistically evocative of the mighty 300SL, but with a slightly less complex drive train, the 190SL remains among the most desirable roadsters of its era. The prototype was first shown at the 1954 New York Auto Show, with the 190SL produced between May 1955 and February 1963. The 190SL was sold alongside the faster, more expensive Mercedes-Benz 300SL, similar not just in terms of styling, engineering and detailing, but also sharing fully independent suspension, double wishbone suspension at the front and swing axles at the rear. The 190 SL was powered by a new, slightly over square 1.9 litre straight-four SOHC engine that developed 120hp with twin-choke dual Solex carburettors, the four-cylinder engine block was based on the six-cylinder engine of the 300 SL. Teamed with a four-speed manual gearbox, this endowed the sleep aerodynamic and comparatively light 190SL that boasted a top speed of 115mph and a respectable 0-60 time of 13.0 seconds. The eye catching 190 SL we have on offer here today is finished in Papyrus White with Sable Black leather upholstery. # 016740 has spent recent years as part of a private collection in Greece where it resided for many years, and consequently has only 67,000 journey miles displayed on the Odometer. This Mercedes has also benefitted from a recent engine re-fresh, making it a highly usable and practical classic sports car for the summer months. Dieser blickfangende 190 SL der hier zum Verkauf steht, zeigt sich in Papyrus Weiß mit zobelschwarzer Lederpolsterung. Nr. 016740 hat die letzten Jahre als Teil einer Privatsammlung in Griechenland verbracht, und folglich nur 67.000 Meilen auf dem Kilometerzähler. Dieser Mercedes hat von einer kürzlichen Motor-Aufwartung profitiert, und macht es zu einem viel verwendbaren und praktischen klassischen Sportwagen, gerade für die Sommermonate.
