Summary
This 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster, a longtime California car, remained under single-family ownership until recently and narrowly escaped the 2017 Santa Rosa fires, though its records were lost. It features a removable factory hardtop, a Solex-carbureted 1.9-liter inline-four with a 4-speed manual, and shows 89k miles on its 5-digit odometer. The car has been refinished in factory Fire Engine Red, but has some interior imperfections including a torn bolster, worn headliner, and inoperable fuel gauge, turn signals, and clock.

Loblolly The 190s are almost mythical to me. My grandfather had one that supposedly was the first Mercedes Benz in Wyoming. ... View more
Frank_Barrett Before you buy a 190SL, make sure you drive a good one and can live with it.
Axel_Caravias A doughnut on a 190SL ? : ))))) It only can happen on ice! And I am a 190SL owner, but that was funny.
