1956 Mercedes-Benz 190SL

This 1956 Mercedes-Benz 190SL was the subject of a refurbishment under previous ownership by Arthur Bechtel Classic Motors in Böblingen, Germany, with work including overhauling the 1.9-liter inline-four and rear differential, disassembling the car, refinishing the bodywork, reupholstering the cabin, refreshing various mechanical systems, and more. The car was brought to the US before it was listed on BaT in August 2023 and sold on BaT in February 2024 , and it was acquired by the seller in 2025. A large-window hardtop has been sourced, and additional equipment includes a four-speed manual transmission, a red convertible soft top, 13″ steel wheels, body-color hubcaps, a rear “Kinder” jump seat, an analog clock, and a push-button radio. This 190SL is now offered with refurbishment photos, a fitted luggage set, a hardtop stand, an owner’s manual, and a California title in the name of the seller’s business. The car was refinished during the restoration, and a color tag shown in the 2023 previous listing gallery below lists the code for Silver Grey (180). Features include a red convertible soft top and a matching top boot as well as dual mirrors and a chrome-finished windshield surround, grille, and bumpers. The image above and the majority of the gallery photos were taken in October 2025, and the car has remained stored since.
