1962 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
- Engine
- 1.9L inline-four, 120 hp
- Colour
- Dove grey with red convertible top
A Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, the marque's first high-volume sports car, sharing its 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine and running gear with the contemporary W120 Type 180 saloon while echoing the styling of the iconic 300 SL at roughly half the price. One of 25,881 built between 1955 and 1963, this four-speed example has been restored to a high standard in Dove Grey with a red hood and interior, featuring the characteristic ivory steering wheel and minimal signs of post-restoration use.
