Built alongside and sharing many of the iconic styling features of the legendary 300SL Roadster, the Mercedes 190SL combined superb build quality with understated styling and a not insignificant, 104 bhp from the 1. 9-litre four-stroke engine. An instant hit, the three-pronged star sparkled amidst the gloom of post-war austerity. The 1955 launch of the 190SL, cemented Mercedes-Benz’s reputation as the car manufacturer for those who wanted elegance, build quality and a decent turn of speed. Its hugely successful production ran to 25, 881 cars from 1955 until 1963, mainly in left-hand drive form, with most going to the North American market.

This, left-hand drive Mercedes 190 SL, is quite simply one of the very best 190 SLs we’ve ever seen and is presented in Graphite Silver with the original Bamboo MB-Tex Vinyl interior. The present owner has owned the car, known to the family as 'Grace', for just under four years, having purchased it shortly after it was imported from California. Since then, the car has undergone an extensive restoration by the vendor himself, including a colour change from the original cream to a really stylish shade of graphite silver, whilst retaining the original tan interior, the combination of which works exceptionally well in our opinion. Silverstone Auctions really do welcome and encourage interested parties to come and see this elegant Mercedes for yourself and let the charms of ‘Grace’ speak for themselves. Regularly seen at classic car events and festivals, this particular 190 SL is ready for its next owner to use and enjoy. Classic car ownership at its purest and very best.
