MERCEDES-BENZ 190SL

Every so often we have the pleasure of bringing to the market unique examples of popular Classic Mercedes-Benz models which nostalgically transport you back to the era of their production, this Mercedes-Benz 190SL perfectly strikes a balance of everything a Classic car should stand for in terms of its originality, history and condition.

First supplied to the U.K. in 1962 through Mercedes-Benz U.K. in Great West Road, London the vehicle was specified with the rare hard top option, it is also the much sought after right hand drive example.

The first owner, a Mr Pavey from Surrey returned the vehicle on point at every recommended service interval for the first 12 years of its life, indeed the original service booklet shows 22 service book stamp entries all at the supplying agent Mercedes-Benz Great West Road, London.

This early history is wonderfully supported by many subsequent invoices further detailing the way for which the vehicle was cared for and maintained, this was to be a feature of this vehicle from its early life right up to present day, this example has always been owned and maintained by the right people.

John Haynes has been maintaining the vehicle for the last owner for almost 3 decades now. This owner has fastidiously ensured the vehicle has wanted for nothing and has always been on the button ready to be enjoyed and used.

The history file also shows the vehicles association with the Goodwood Revival from the early days of the event, each year was a pilgrimage to the Revival, this vehicle was the perfect entrant 25 years ago and still is today.

Presented in fantastic condition throughout with low mileage, low ownership, and an incredible history file boasting a well stamped service book with all correct handbooks in the original wallet pouch, this vehicle represents a fine opportunity to acquire a unique and superb example of the ever popular and stylish Mercedes-Benz 190SL.

Recently displayed on the main plinth at Mercedes-Benz World for 12 months and now offered to the market from long term ownership this vehicle is of worthy consideration for those seeking a rather special 190SL.

Viewing and inspection are welcome and indeed highly recommended.
