Mercedes-Benz Classics 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster This factory white (050) over black interior 190SL roadster is in superb condition. The seats were redone and a new soft top was installed about 4 years ago. Everything else is original! The car runs, drives and brakes like a new car! One of the best examples of an original classic that you’ll find in the world! Click to enlarge any of the photos below. A link to a slideshow of all the enlarged photos is available at the bottom of the page. The body is totally rust free with its entire undercarriage in original condition, also completely rust free and never been undercoated or painted! All body parts and panels are 100% original, though body appears to be partially re-sprayed. The gaps for the hood, trunk and doors are simply perfect! The trunk floor is beautiful and original and has also never been re-sprayed! All the chrome on this car is in really good condition and never been re-chromed! As most serious car collectors say, it's original only once. This car is so original that the front grille has never even been removed; the wings are still held with its original 9mm nuts and original washers! All 8 hood bolts that hold the hood also appear to never have been removed, which is an amazing thing to find these days. Pictures of the undercarriage support our understanding of the car’s history, i.e. it has always been driven in good weather. The engine and engine bay have been preserved in the most original state that we have seen over the last 40 years, almost like new, in fact, with its original Solex carburetors! Its carburetion is simply perfect and untouched; something that’s so incredibly rare to see today! The car includes all its original stickers and booklets!

For those who are interested in viewing this car, it’s presently located conveniently near Los Angeles, CA. Beginning on January 15th it will be available for viewing in Scottsdale, AZ for a week, only 1 mile away from the Scottsdale Mercedes-Benz dealership, along with a few beautiful ground up restorations so perfect, they belong on a show room floor, e.g. a 190SL in factory black with red interior, a 220SE Cabriolet, and a few other Mercedes-Benz classics of real quality. If you visit us in Scottsdale later this month, you’ll see that anything we add to our collection, whether it’s a complete original, a restoration project, or otherwise, quality is always our main focus.
