Mercedes-Benz 190SL 1957

This 1957 Mercedes-Benz 190SL is finished in red with a tan convertible top over a tan vinyl interior. Power comes from a 1.9-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. The car is said to have undergone a refurbishment that was completed in 2014. Equipment includes a Becker Europa AM/FM radio, twin Mikuni side-draft carburetors, and power-assisted drum brakes. A tune-up was performed in preparation for the sale.

Originally finished in Ivory (608), the car was refinished in red as part of a refurbishment performed by a previous owner in 2014. The tan convertible soft top is pictured in both its raised and lowered position in the gallery.

13″ steel wheels wear polished and paint-matched hubcaps and 175-13 Michelin thin whitewall radial tires. Factory equipment includes double-wishbone front suspension, rear swing axles with coil springs, and power-assisted drum brakes.

The interior is trimmed in dark tan vinyl with matching door panels, a matching dash pad, and tan square-weave carpets. A Becker Europa AM/FM radio is fitted in the dash, and the car is not equipped with a back seat.

A factory ivory steering wheel fronts VDO instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 34k miles.

The 1.9L M121 inline-four was factory rated at 104 horsepower. Twin side-draft Mikuni carburetors have been installed in place of the factory Solex carburetors, and the selling dealer reports that a tune-up was performed in preparation for the sale.
