A 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster finished in Pearl Gray over a green leather interior, this example spent virtually its entire life in Canada. Delivered into the hands of an Ontario owner in 1966, the car accompanied a Canadian Armed Forces officer across multiple postings before passing through two further Canadian families over subsequent decades.
