1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster (Sold)
Just for the pleasure of eyes, RM Sotheby's sold this beautiful 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster for $269,500. So classic...
History of the Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster
Presented during the 1954 New York Auto Show, the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, aka W121, was produced from 1955 to 1963. A big success for Mercedes with morethan 26,000 examples sold during the production run.
It was an idea of Max Hoffman, US importer of European cars, to have a less expensive model of the six-cylinder 300 SL (an old post about this mode), its big brother.
Technical Specification
The 1,897 cc overhead-camshaft inline four-cylinder engine with twin Solex carburetors delivered 120 hp. Enough to enjoy the ride.
Beautiful restoration with this painting anthracite grey over Cognac leather interior matching Cognac leather luggage. Class !
