Description
The 1957 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster has become one of the brand’s most iconic models, celebrated for its timeless design, approachable glamour, and role in establishing Mercedes-Benz as a leader in stylish, world-class grand touring sports cars.
Acquired by the current Mercedes-Benz collector 15 years ago, this 190SL Roadster is the recipient of a comprehensive restoration that was completed just five years ago. A very solid and complete example before, the restoration was carried out by noted Tulsa, Oklahoma shop, Huber Restorations. The result is stunning from all angles and portrays a timeless stance. Finished in Silver Grey Metallic, the sleek body is complemented by classic whitewall tires and subtle chrome trim. Under the folding navy-blue soft top, the cabin is inlaid with grey carpets with blue piping that match the door panels and the fashionable factory-correct tri-color plaid cloth seats.
Under the hood, one will find a proper and tidy engine bay with a 1.9-litre inline four-cylinder engine with dual Solex carburetors. Paired with a four-speed manual gearbox, it offers an unforgettable driving experience.
Accompanying the sale of this Mercedes-Benz is an original and reproduction owner’s manual, matching interior boot cover, spare tire, and jack. A beautifully restored example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most beloved sports cars, this 190SL is a true icon and cornerstone piece for any collector seeking timeless style, honest craftsmanship, and enduring investment potential.
This 1957 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster is located in Auburn, Indiana, which is centrally located and within a few hours by car from Indianapolis, Indiana; Detroit, Michigan; Chicago, Illinois; and Cleveland, Ohio.
