Description

A rare opportunity to acquire an iconic 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster, presented as a premium, high-end assembly project. All major, labor-intensive restoration work has already been completed to the highest standards.

Unlike typical unfinished projects, this vehicle features a fully prepared, rolling, and steering chassis that is ready for final assembly. It offers the ultimate, risk-free foundation for either a spectacular EV-Restomod or a traditional classic build, saving the next owner years of workshop waiting times and unpredictable bodywork costs.

Current State of Restoration & Completed High-End Work:

  • Body & Paint: Professionally prepared, laser-straight, and fully painted in the exclusive, modern AMG Grey.

  • Interior: Premium seats freshly upholstered in stunning Cognac leather.

  • Brightwork & Trim: All chrome parts have been completely and freshly re-chromed to a mirror finish.

  • Instruments & Glass: The dashboard gauges/clocks and all windows are completely new.

  • Soft-Top: Included with a brand-new convertible top (kap).

  • Drivetrain: The gearbox, propshaft, and differential are 100% present, fully rebuilt/revised, and mounted onto the rolling chassis.

The EV Conversion Edge:
The project was originally envisioned as a high-end electric conversion. The full engineering for a bespoke EV conversion solution has already been completed and tested—significantly reducing development time, cost, and risk. Because there is no combustion engine present, the chassis is perfectly open and ready for immediate battery and electric motor integration.

Alternatively, the car can easily be completed as a traditional 190 SL by sourcing and installing a classic M121 engine.

Key Highlights:

  • Genuine 190 SL (1962) rolling and steering chassis.

  • Paint, leather, chrome, gauges, and soft-top are already completed and brand new.

  • Fully engineered and tested EV conversion concept included.

  • Offered by a registered Belgian company (Clear invoicing / B2B friendly).

This is a turn-key assembly puzzle in a highly sought-after, modern-classic color combination. Perfect for premium collectors, specialized EV builders, or restomod enthusiasts.

Location: Belgium. Serious inquiries only. Contact us for the full photo dossier of the bodywork and boxed new components.
