Description

  • Very rare very early car.
    - Mille Miglia eligible
    - Matching numbers and colours



    Mercedes introduced the 190 SL in March 1955 at the Geneva Autosalon. At the same time the new Supersportscar 300 SL was introduced as Gullwing. In this shadow the 190 SL, which technically based on the Ponton Sedan, should bring more commercial success for the company. The 190 SL was a big success- 25.881 cars were sold- and is still a symbol of the german 'Wirtschaftswunder'.

    This 190 SL was delivered on the 26th of May in 1955 to New York - in this colour configuartion. This 190 SL is shurely one of the oldest still existing examples, with chassis number 19, body number 18 and engine number 17 one of the first 20 cars that left the factory as 190 SL.

    This special car has all the rare features of the early cars ( the rubber floor mats and sill mats come with the car ) - even the superrare sandcast carburators are mounted. A rare oppotunity for a collector or enthusiast to aquire such an early car in completly restored condtion.
