The winning bidder will receive all the documents shown and the original unrestored hard top as well. This is one of the most carefully documented 190SLs I've handled. There are 61 years of receipts. And a few trophies! It's 'on the button' and ready for touring. I encourage bidders to review all 300+ images to fully understand the condition of the car. Non-dealer California residents will pay applicable tax and license fees. This 190SL is located at my gallery in Burlingame, CA - 5 minutes south of SFO. The car is sold as-is with no warranty implied or otherwise. For new bidders, remember to refresh your browser regularly during the last minutes of bidding so you see the latest bids.

Good luck to all bidders.November 26th, 2023 at 9:14pm EST$52,000 bid placed by @DNR12November 24th, 2023 at 8:48am EST$50,000 bid placed by @LukeharrisNovember 23rd, 2023 at 9:29pm EST$22,500 bid placed by @DecenrodeNovember 21st, 2023 at 4:13pm ESTmbheritage (90) Seller 1I attach a quick reminiscence of the car from the original and current owner's family: "Dad, Wilhelm Alfred xxxx aka Fred, was a young officer in Coast Guard when he ordered the 190SL in 1962 from the plant in Germany. Dad's father, Timm Alfred xxxx, and brother-in-law were going to Germany to visit relatives when Dad put in an order for the Mercedes. Dad said that they could drive it when they were in Germany. During its early years, the car was driven around Michigan while Dad captained ice breakers. Then driven to California where it was the daily driver on Hwy 1 performing lighthouse inspections for the Coast Guard. As all the servicemen, change of station were ~3 years involving moves from California to DC, back to the San Francisco Bay, Louisiana, DC and finally, back again to the City by the Bay and (the car was) retired for restoration. Dad did all the maintenance work on the car himself. He kept records in small notebooks of the mileage of each gas fill up and oil change. These records have been misplaced during the restoration. In 2008 Fred embarked on the restoration process of the 190."November 21st, 2023 at 1:16pm EST$20,000 bid placed by @BenHollingsNovember 21st, 2023 at 1:01pm EST$5,250 bid placed by @AHaji9November 21st, 2023 at 12:53pm ESTmbheritage (90) Seller 0@BigH Absolutely.
