Used For Sale at Auction: 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL for sale in Monteira

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' The S�ragga Collection event, 20 - 21 September 2019. Estimate: €100,000 - €120,000 Finished in a handsome combination of Dove Grey with contrasting red soft top and interior Beautifully restored, ready to drive and enjoy One of 2,246 190 SLs built for 1962 As the company's first volume sports car, the 190 SL shared its 120 hp, 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine and running gear with the W120-generation Type 180 Sedan, whilst offering styling similar to the legendary 300 SL. It was marketed as more of a comfortable cruiser as opposed to the more powerful 300 SL. The resemblance to the 300 SL was certainly intentional, albeit at half the price. Mercedes-Benz followed Austin-Healey's and the Triumph TR series' lead by creating a new car using off-the-shelf components it had available from its other automobiles. The 190 SL was produced from 1955 through 1963, with Mercedes-Benz building a total of 25,881 units, including 2,246 for the 1962 model year. Restored to a high standard, this four-speed 190 SL is finished in Dove Grey with a contrasting red convertible top and interior highlighted by Mercedes-Benz's characteristic ivory steering wheel and shift knob. Under-hood detailing is excellent and shows evidence of very little use and road wear. Brightwork appears to be nicely done and in excellent condition, too. Overall, an excellent example of Mercedes-Benz's popular 190 SL. Bonita combina��o de cinza Dove Grey com capota e interiores vermelhos Muito bem restaurado, pronto a conduzir e desfrutar Um dos 2.246 190 SL constru�dos em 1962 Como o primeiro desportivo de grande volume da empresa, o 190 SL compartilhava o seu motor 1.9 litros de quatro cilindros de 120 cv e caixa de velocidades com o 180 Sedan da gera��o W120, oferecendo um estilo semelhante ao lend�rio 300 SL. Foi comercializado mais como um autom�vel de passeio confort�vel ao contr�rio do mais potente 300 SL. A semelhan�a com o 300 SL foi certamente intencional, mas o 190 SL custava metade do pre�o. A Mercedes-Benz seguiu a lideran�a da Austin-Healey e da s�rie TR da Triumph ao criar um novo autom�vel recorrendo a componentes dispon�veis de outros modelos. O 190 SL foi produzido entre 1955 e 1963, com a Mercedes-Benz a fabricar um total de 25.881 unidades, incluindo 2.246 para o ano modelo de 1962. Restaurado com um alto padr�o de qualidade, este 190 SL de quatro velocidades tem acabamento em cinza Dove Grey com uma contrastante capota e interiores em vermelho destacado pelo volante e punho da caixa de velocidades da Mercedes-Benz. O detalhe sob o cap� � excelente e mostra sinais de muito pouco uso e desgaste. Os cromados parecem estar bem executados e em excelente condi��o. No geral, um excelente exemplar do popular 190 SL da Mercedes-Benz.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/pg19 .
