About this Vehicle

Stunning 1955 Mercedes Benz 190SL. Very early production. Flame Red on Red leather. 1.7L/105hp inline 4 cylinder. 4 speed manual trans. Dual sidedraft carbs. Both the hard and soft top are included.

Presented in Flame Red with a red leather interior, this 190SL was proudly displayed for many years in The Rodger's Collection Museum. This gorgeous vintage two-door luxury roadster is powered by a 1.7L/105 hp straight-four SOHC engine, fitted with the correct twin-choke dual Solex carburetors and teamed with a four-speed manual gearbox. The very attractive interior is finished in red leather, with gleaming chrome gauge surrounds and brilliant chrome touches throughout this solidly-built Mercedes, and possesses a level of assembly quality alien to most of its British or Italian contemporaries.

Stylistically evocative of the mighty 300SL, but with a slightly less complex drive train, the sleek, aerodynamic and comparatively light 1955 Mercedes Benz 190SL boasted a top speed of 115mph and respectable 0-60 time of 13.0 seconds and was very advanced for the year of its introduction. The 190SL was praised for its outstanding achievement in styling, engineering, quality of design, detailing and workmanship, as well as the general feeling of solidity which the car immediately conveys. The open-top Mercedes Benz was not designed as a thorough-bred sports car. Instead, it was conceived as an elegant two-seater for touring and everyday driving. Although the Mercedes 190SL was described as a roadster, it was actually a proper cabriolet with roll-up windows and a well-insulated top.

A timeless classic whose beautiful styling has aged very well, the 190SL is still comfortable and competent by modern standards.The final production tally by Mercedes from 1955 to 1963 was 25,881 cars, about 10,000 of which were sold in the USA . The Mercedes-Benz 190SL is among the most desirable roadsters of its era. Surviving Mercedes 190SL's have become increasingly collectible in recent years and they are now much sought after all over the world.
