Mercedes-Benz 190SL 1960
General description :
1960 Mercedes 190 SL
A perfectly restored Mercedes 190 SL in the beautiful color Metal Gray combined with a high quality cognac leather interior which leads to a fantastic color combination.
The restoration was carried out in the Netherlands by a Mercedes specialist during the period 2014 to 2016. We have of a photo report about this restauration available. There is also a document, which shows that this 190 SL has “matching numbers”. After the restoration, this Mercedes has only traveled 136 km, and is therefore still needed.
Besides the exceptionally high quality, the story about this car is also very special. This Mercedes 190 SL was purchased at Mercedes in Stuttgart in 1960 by Delores Lovette-Dixon. Then the Mercedes was exported to America (Nashville), and she owned the 190 SL for 27 years. After 26 years of neglect, this Mercedes 190 SL was shipped to The Netherlands in 2013 and restoration began.

About Mercedes-Benz
In 1886 Karl Benz built Benz Patent Motorwagen widely regarded as the first automobile. Little did he know this was to be the beginning of the world's most renown premium car manufacturer. -Mind you the venture was financed by his wife Bertha Benz.Not too far Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, started marketing their car in 1901 using now famous name: Mercedes (Spanish for godsend), which was chosen after their distributor Emil Jellinek's daughter.
To make a long story short, Daimler merged in 1926 with Benz & Cie., becoming Daimler-Benz and adopting Mercedes-Benz as its automobile trademark
Although deemed by some conservative the truth is actually quite the opposite, Daimler-Benz history is filled with 'firsts': Honeycomb radiator, float carburetor, four wheel brakes 1924, (although Duesenburg Model A was reported to be sporting them as early as 1922), first diesel powered passenger car in 1936, the Mercedes-Benz 260 D, first direct fuel injection in the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing (well not really as tiny 2-stroke Gutbrod actually had the first direct fuel injection) ) front and rear crumple zones ie. safety cell by Béla Barényi patented in 1951 and introduced in “Ponton”-models , Anti-Lock Brake system (ABS) was first offered on the W116 450SEL 6.9, first production airbags...and the list goes on.
During its 100+ years Mercedes has produced more than a fair share of iconic cars; SSKL , 710 SSK Trossi Roadster, 770K Grosser, 540K Spezial Roadster, 300SL Gullwing, w100 600 Pullman, w111 280SE 3.5 Flachkühler, w113 230SL Pagoda, w109 300 SEL 6.3, w201 2.3-16 Cosworth to name just a few.
One should not forget the famous Silver Arrows (Silberpfeile) either: W 25, W 125, w154, w165, w196 all of which were more than capable of trashing their opponents on the track.
