1960 Mercedes-Benz 190-Class

REV is pleased to offer this absolutely stunning 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster, finished in Graphite Gray over Red leather interior. This example is in fabulous shape, the paint has been redone in the original color, and was recently cut and polished. The chrome and brightwork are believed to be original, and are in excellent shape--particularly for being 62 years old. Inside, the upholstery is believed to be original, and unrestored. This example features a 1.9L I4 engine, which has been upgraded to Weber carburetors. According to the data sheet on this particular car, the engine is not matching numbers (it is from a 1959 190SL). It starts up and idles perfectly from cold or hot, with no smoke emitted from the tailpipe. A brand new clutch, resurfaced flywheel, and new shifter arm and bushing has been installed in the transmission within the last 10 miles. Additionally, the vehicle has a freshly reconditioned OEM radiator, and a new electric fuel pump and filter. Currently there are a few mechanical issues that deserve attention -- the water pump bearing has play and is leaking coolant slightly when operating, the tachometer is inoperable, and the blower motor is inoperable. Additionally, there is a bit of rust in the bottom of the spare tire well which will need to be professionally repaired. A hardtop and stand is also included with the vehicle, which is color-matched (photos available upon request). Overall, this is a highly presentable example which looks even better in person than it does in photos. It is ready to be shown, driven, and loved by it's new owner.
