For Sale: 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 in Phoenix, Arizona for sale in Phoenix, AZ
Vehicle Description This is a wonderful example of a well cared for 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL roadster that has been restored as-needed.
It is striking in its original Light Green Metallic that was a special order only color from the factory.
While not a concours trailer queen, this 190SL looks wonderful and is fun to drive.
The Light Green Metallic (DB 274 H) livery is truly stunning, whether viewed in doors, in the sunlight or in the shade.
The metallic accentuates the curves that the 190SL is known for and reveals a variety of tones from nearly silver to darker green.
It is a color that we don't recall ever seeing on a 190SL, but have seen it on 300Sc coupes and cabriolets.
The paint is in overall excellent condition with some areas showing some orange peeling which could be further polished out.
The major chrome items such as the grills, hub caps, trim rings, light surrounds and bumpers are restored and re-plated and all look terrific.
The windshield frame, door handles and mirror are original and exhibit minor pitting from age.
The overall look is stunning.
The tan canvas convertible top is as-new and fits nice and snug.
The dark green top boot also looks new and is in excellent condition and looks fantastic when contrasted with the light green paint.
The new Goodyear radials drive great and look right for a US delivery 190SL with a small white wall.
The Dark Green Leather (Code 1073) interior is also stunning in contrast to the ample use of chrome throughout the interior dash and doors as well as the light green metallic paint.
The carpet is also a mid green with darker green binding which compliments the interior, making it an elegant and sporty look.
The engine compartments is very well detailed, well enough for showing at regional car shows.
The original Solex carbs are included in the sale but have been replaced with Weber carburetors (thank goodness) for performance and reliability.
The original starter has also been replaced with a faster more efficient starter, with the original starter included in the sale.
Also included in the sale are a load of spare parts, all new, an owners manual, original complete tool set and roll as well as the correct 190SL tire pressure gauge.
We drove it extensively in 110 degree heat, and it performed well.
All the instrumentation works well except the temperature gauge is presently not functioning.
