Description

1957 Mercedes-Benz 190SL – Concours Level Restoration

The Ultimate Red-on-Red Specification Available now is a stunning, museum-quality 1957 Mercedes-Benz 190SL. This example has undergone a meticulous, no-expense-spared restoration, returning it to its factory-original glory. Finished in a breathtaking Red exterior over a matching Red leather interior, this 190SL represents the pinnacle of 1950s open-top German elegance.

Provenance & Availability

  • Family Office Provenance: Most recently part of a private family office collection in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), this vehicle has been maintained to the highest standards of professional care.
  • Global Shipping Ready: The car is currently ready for sale and can be shipped to any major international destination via sea or air freight.
  • Inspections Encouraged: To ensure total confidence, on-site inspections are both welcome and encouraged by appointment.

Mechanical Excellence

Unlike many examples that have been converted to aftermarket setups, this 190SL retains its original Solex PHH 44 carburetors, correctly tuned for smooth and authentic performance.

  • Engine: Recently overhauled 1.9L Inline-Four.
  • Ignition: Features its period-correct original-spec ignition system.
  • Condition: Zero leaks, zero faults, and zero mechanical issues. This car is "turn-key" and ready for a cross-country rally or a Concours lawn.

Body & Interior

  • Rust-Free & Pristine: A high-level restoration has left the chassis and body panels in pristine, rust-free condition with excellent panel fit.
  • No Accident History: Clean title and a verified history with no accident damage.
  • Cosmetics: The paint depth is exceptional, and the chrome brightwork has been polished to a mirror finish. The red leather interior is supple, original in pattern, and shows virtually no wear.
