MERCEDES-BENZ: SL-Class 190sl

This 190sl was delivered to its first owner in 1961 in Northern NJ, Mercedes,order #17140406. He drove it about 60,000 miles before he did a complete offsite restoration. The car was disassembled, the body was sent to a shop in Michiganfor a full frame and body panel restoration. The engine and transmissionwere rebuilt by a leading NJ Mercedesspecialist, a new high end tan top was fitted, all instruments wererebuilt, a new tan leather interior was fitted, and the car was painted abeautiful fire-engine red (DB534). (I have all receipts which go with the car).

The second owner, a car collector in Northern NJ, bought the car with about 61000 miles, stored the car in a heated garage anddrove it to car shows and the country club and put approximately 2000-2500miles on the car. It was driven continuously, but sparingly.

I bought the car in 2013 from the car collector. Thecar went through a nine month refresh. This included brake systemoverhaul with new parts, fuel system overhaul, including newly rebuilt original Solexcarburators, fuel pump, gas tank. New radial tires, with the same sizeas original, were added. A new gel battery with original tar top look andoriginal battery label was put in the car. The car was tuned. The paintwas polished to bring up the beautiful look. The underside of the carwas painted to match the correct 'Mercedes flat gray' (DB169) with which it left the factory. A new windshield was fitted. See the pictures.

Everything works, and the car needs nothing but a new owner who willlove it's beautiful lines and excellent performance. The originalradio, original windup (!) clock, push button windshield washer, and allother electrics work perfectly.

The car comes with original Mercedes factory jack and toolkit, original owners manual and owners parts book. It also has the original key set with the Mercedes key fob and a spare set of keys.

All receipts from the earlier restoration are in a binder and are included in the sale. In addition, all receipts from the 2013-2104 refresh are in a binder and are included.
The car needs nothing, has no rust, is kept in a garage and has no known flaws. It starts up instantly, it runs great, and everyone waves, it is gorgeous. The current owner is an active member of the International 190sl Club, and has put love and attention into making this 190sl the best it can be.
