September 13th, 2024 at 3:25pm ESTARI1 (20) Seller 1It is the last hour of this gorgeous 190SL listing. This survivor is ready to serve her next caretaker for many years to come. All you have to do is enjoy it; everything is nicely sorted and ready to roll. An honest, rare, original specimen indeed. What Mercedes-Benz created, not Jim's Resto Shop. As with all of our cars we are glad to help arrange shipment (Internationally) or pickup in Columbus, OH. We are glad to store car for buyer within reason. Good Luck!September 13th, 2024 at 3:22pm ESTARI1 (20) Seller 0Another testament to the originality of this car; date codes on wheels are all 9/59. Photos will be added shortly.

September 13th, 2024 at 8:26am ESTARI1 (20) Seller 2At the 190SL Group show two months ago, there were 3 concourse judges who looked at the car, Bob Platz exterior judged, Harrison Platz interior judged and Joe Alexander was the mechanical judge. This is a high point car from an originality standpoint. Nothing 'Mickey-Mouse', broken, or missing. This car has absolutely no rust or corrosion thanks to its 65 year old Zeibart undercoating. A very fine car inside and out that is ready to enjoy for years to come! As with all of our cars, we are glad to help arrange transport, or pickup in Columbus, OH. Can store vehicle for buyer within reason. Good Luck!September 13th, 2024 at 8:22am ESTARI1 (20) Seller 1@parklandmb Photos of spot welds will be added to listing shortly. @handgemacht Agreed and thanks for the kind words. September 12th, 2024 at 6:54pm ESThandgemacht (1) 1This is the best 190SL ever offered on this site. There have been 5 others since the beginning in 2021 and 2 of them sold. One with the motor seized for $51K and one amateur restored for $130K. 3 others were bid to $80K, 90K, and $107K. Most examples offered for sale globally are a comedy of errors between the 3 "M's" of concourse judging; Missing, Misinstalled, and Mickeymouse. I'm really impressed with this car. It's either well sorted or lovingly preserved or both. You should do well.

Her brother had it the previous 30 years. It is a very nice original car that has been kept roadworthy and drives like a 75,000 mile original car should (title shows actual mileage). The car is super-tuned by marque expert (including original Solex carbs). Everything is nice and tight; no shakes, squeaks, rattles, clunks, grinds etc. No corrosion, very clean underneath. This car received Zeibart rust-proofing when it was new. The Zeibart company started in business that year and used a high pressure petroleum based spray into the frame cavities and guaranteed there work against any rust-through for the life of the car (See photo of Zeibart plug). This coating is about 10-12mm thick and also functions as sound-proofing from road noise. Has a full reproduction stainless steel exhaust system with all the correct mounting hardware. Engine compartment is very clean and all original and correct. Correct German canvas soft top and chrome strip in as new condition. Seats were restored by expert Mercedes upholsterer. Seat adjusters are complete and fully functional, (a common issue). Retains original rubber floor mats in beautiful condition. Chrome in very nice condition
