This 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL was purchased by the seller in 1976 following ownership history in Colorado, and it has reportedly been stored since 1979 with intermittent periods of use. The car is finished in white over red leather upholstery, and it is powered by a 1.9-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a black soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, 13″ steel wheels, chromed hubcaps, and an aftermarket AM/FM push-button radio. Recent service is said to include a tune-up, fluid changes, and replacing the battery box and differential boot, and the seller states that additional work is required to make the car roadworthy.
The car was originally finished in white (DB50G) and was repainted in 1977. Exterior features include chrome bumpers with overriders, a driver-side mirror, and a single polished exhaust outlet.
The 13″ steel wheels have chrome trim rings and hubcaps with body-color accents while older 175-series Michelin Radial whitewall tires are mounted at all four corners. The seller states that the tires are in need of replacement.
The cabin features red leather upholstery on the seats and door-panel inserts as well as a matching dash pad, carpets, and sun visors. The body-color dashboard houses a lockable glovebox and an AM/FM push-button radio. Other equipment includes an analog clock and a dash-mounted rear-view mirror. The carpet is missing from the passenger-side footwell, and the headliner and cabin upholstery are worn.
The ivory-color two-spoke steering wheel has a chrome horn ring and frames a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 85k miles.
The 1.9-liter M121 inline-four features dual Solex carburetors and was factory rated at 104 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque. Service in 2020 is said to have included fluid changes, a tune-up, and replacing the battery box. The seller recommends rebuilds of the carburetors. Corrosion is noted under the brake booster, on the lower firewall, and on the exhaust.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The seller states that the differential boot was replaced in 2020.
The sale includes a black soft top, a spare set of wheels and tires, spare carburetors, tools, and literature.
