MERCEDES BENZ
190 SL
4 - SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!
SOFT TOP
YOU ARE LOOKING AT A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF A VERY RARE 1959 MERCEDES BENZ 190SL ROADSTER (CONVERTIBLE). THIS GRATE LOOKING SL IS FINISHED IN BLACK PAINT WITH A COMPLEMENTING RED INTERIOR .
FACTORY OPTIONS INCLUDE: 4-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, SPARE TIRE.
The 190SL displayed at Geneva in March 1955 was one of a small series of preproduction cars leading to the official announcement and release in May. Offered in roadster form with the availability of an optional aluminum hardtop, it was received with some reserve by the press.
But it was beautifully built, in the Mercedes tradition, and solid in a way for which sports cars were not noted. Finish everywhere was near perfect in detail, whether under the hood, in doors that swung shut with almost no pressure and closed with that "clunk" that spelled solidity and strength, the millimeter-perfect body cut lines, or the immaculately upholstered interior and tailor-made set of suitcases.
Mercedes-Benz advertised the 190SL as a touring sports car, perhaps a car to compete in club hill climbs and rallies, but not the long-distance classic events. To support this view, Daimler-Benz even catalogued a production Sportausführung, a sports roadster that featured such lightening measures as cut-down aluminum doors minus the window winding mechanism and glass, and a small plexiglass aero screen for the driver. Mechanically, it was unchanged. How many were made is not recorded in the usually meticulous Daimler-Benz archives.
Road & Track, that most cosmopolitan of American motor magazines, tested the 190SL and made several positive comments. "Very few sports cars have been so eagerly awaited or so long in coming as the moderately priced SL version of the Mercedes-Benz...The net result is a car which is slightly more expensive and a little heavier than was originally planned, but certainly
it should be durable, dependable and without 'bugs.'"
Road & Track went on to say, "The outstanding achievement of the 190SL is without a doubt its quality in design and workmanship. But a close second is the general feeling of solidity which it immediately conveys." The magazine's test car ran a 0-60-mph time of 13.0 seconds, the standing quarter in 19.3, and a top-speed average of 99.8 mph, with a best run of 102.6 mph. Road & Track was impressed
