White paint. Red leather. And those graceful curves. It is almost like looking at a vintage piece of jewelry, except this one you can drive. This is the 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL. A stunning example, fully restored to original factory specifications. Everything is just right, down to the finest detail. It even includes the original Fahrzeug-Datenkarte from when it left the factory. It feels as though it has just been delivered in 1960.

This 190 SL is a luxury roadster with the elegance of a 1950s film star, yet with the reliability of a thoroughly restored example. This is not a case of polished appearances. This is genuine class, inside and out. You notice it the moment the doors close with that satisfying click.

The 190 SL was originally introduced as the more refined and slightly more accessible sibling to the famous 300 SL. It shared much of its design and engineering, but in a more approachable package. For anyone looking to cruise the boulevard or gracefully wind up a mountain pass, this Mercedes was the obvious choice. That is exactly why it remains one of the most sought-after classic Mercedes-Benz models today.

Under the hood sits a 1.9 liter four-cylinder engine with dual Solex carburetors, producing around 105 horsepower. That may not sound overwhelming, but trust us, this car is all about balance and driving pleasure. Top down, with excellent handling and a smooth engine note, it quickly becomes clear why the 190 SL has remained so loved.

And just look at this configuration. Ivory white with red leather. It does not get more timeless than this. Everything is matching numbers, everything is original, exactly the way Mercedes intended. Even the original manuals are included. It feels like stepping back in time to pick it up new at a Mercedes-Benz dealership in 1960.

Built between 1955 and 1963, the 190 SL is now a rare embodiment of understated luxury. Never loud, always elegant and confident. Whether you are driving through a quiet village in the South of France or just heading to the bakery on a sunny morning, this car turns heads. Everyone instantly knows they are looking at something truly special.
