If you know anything about old Mercedes-Benz vehicles, you'll know that the 300SL Gullwing is more or less the holy grail of Benz-badged cars. But what if (back in 1960) you couldn't afford the highest spec coupe?
That's where the 190SL comes into play, as it was introduced as a "baby brother" to the mighty 300SL, but still featured an extremely luxurious interior and gorgeous body lines.
Unlike the 300SL, which featured a beefy six-cylinder engine under the hood, the 190SL made use of a smaller, four-cylinder power plant. This engine was good for 77kW and 142Nm of torque.
While these are small numbers by today's standards, this allowed the roadster to hit 100km/h in 13 seconds, which was nothing to sneeze at back in 1962.
The example that is listed here on Driven is finished in a gorgeous shade of red, and looks to have been restored at some point in its life.
The vehicle as a whole looks to be in immaculate condition with the leather interior showing minimal signs of wear.
While the six-figure asking price may seem steep, if these 190SL models follow a similar trajectory to that of the 300SL models, this could be quite the investment.
