This is a beautiful 1963 190SL. The car was delivered new in the United States and completely restored and overhauled a few years ago. The work was carried out very thoroughly at the time and the car still looks beautiful.

The body has been repainted in the original colour: “Hellblau”. The sheet metal is nice and thin with nice fits. The chrome on the body was also completely renewed during the restoration. The convertible top was also replaced at the time by a new one of heavy quality that fits beautifully everywhere and comes with a tonneau cover for the beautiful days when the hood can stay down. The car stands on its original wheels, the beautiful hubcaps have been repainted and are chrome-plated. The tires are of course provided with a good profile and the correct sizes.

The interior has been completely reupholstered. Again, the work has been done with great attention to detail. The carpets have been completely re-laid and fit well. The dark grey carpets match the black leather on the seats beautifully. The dashboard was repainted during the restoration and also looks beautiful. The seats were then reupholstered with black leather. The leather is still in very good condition and wonderfully supple. The dashboard still looks as beautiful as the day the car left the factory. The instruments and controls are all in very good condition and function as they should.

The technique was completely overhauled during the restoration. The engine is the well-known M121 four-cylinder in-line engine. The engine produces 105 hp and enables the 190SL to achieve impressive performance. By today’s standards, the 190SL is not a stripper, but for 1963 the performance was absolutely appealing. What the 190SL really excels at is enabling you to enjoy great touring on your favourite roads in complete comfort. It is an extremely elegant way to relax on a Sunday. The engine is mated to a four-speed manual transmission that shifts precisely in this case. It is good to note that the carburettors have also been completely overhauled and re-adjusted, this is sometimes forgotten and makes a big difference in how a car drives. This 190SL drives exactly as Mercedes-Benz had envisioned it at the time. The engine not only sounds beautiful but also runs wonderfully through the revs. The chassis and brakes are also in excellent condition and contribute to the good and modern handling of the 190SL.

The car will be delivered including an extensive photo report of the restoration and overhaul. In short, a beautiful Mercedes-Benz 190SL in restored and overhauled condition and a beautiful colour scheme.
