When the Mercedes-Benz 190SL debuted at the 1954 New York Auto Show, the flashes of glamour shining from the halo 300SL became that little bit more attainable. The 190SL, coded W121, shared its sense of style and several major components with the 300SL supercar, but diverged in two main areas. The 300SL's complex tube-frame chassis was swapped for a more conventional pressed steel monocoque, and the 190SL employed a smaller 1900cc single-cam inline four. The 190SL would always be more of a tourer than a hardcore racer, but priced competitively and offering that hit of post-war serotonin that America was craving, the 190SL was a runaway success. Over 25,000 were built during an eight-year lifespan.
Delivered new in elegant Pearl Grey (colour code DB125) over red leather (code 1079), our vendor purchased this lovely matching numbers example 190SL in 2021 to fulfil a long-held ambition of completing the Mille Miglia, which was done that same year with success. The Datenkart accompanying the car reveals it was delivered new to Los Angeles, USA, and was ordered with a list of options including Perlgrau "Sonderlackierung" - a special and desirable colour.
This190SL remained in the US until 2014, in the long-term ownership of Mr Edwin Kitt. It features the correct Solex twin-barrel carburettors. Presented in lovely condition after a professional restoration that seems to have been carried out a while ago (unfortunately no restoration details or photos are available). The 190SL has been maintained by recognized classic car specialist Phillippe Sybille in Belgium in recent years. Having hardly used the car since the Mille Miglia adventure, the current owner has decided to part with his beautiful 190SL and give the opportunity to its next custodian to participate in "the world's most beautiful race". The documentation includes Belgian registration documents, a current Mille Miglia Registro certificate and of course the Registro badge mounted on the front plate holder, a copy of an old US title, the owner's manual and a copy of the Datenkart confirming the car's original specifications and matching numbers.

The 190SL was the vision of Max Hoffman, U.S. importer for Mercedes-Benz.
Hoffman wanted to capitalize on the success of the 300SL, a highly visible model that would bring the Mercedes-Benz marque much attention but was so expensive that it would amount to relatively few sales. At Hoffman's suggestion, Mercedes-Benz developed the 190SL on the W120 series 180 sedan chassis and announced it at the 1954 New York Auto Show as a prototype along with the road-going 300SL. It took about a year for the 190SL to appear at dealers.
SL stands for "Sports Leicht" but the 190SL was neither a sports car nor particularly light at 1160 kg. It was, on the other hand, aerodynamically efficient, comfortable and undeniably handsome, supplying a need apparent in America, its intended primary market, where two-seaters like the Thunderbird were appreciated as second cars for a growing middle class able to afford personal transportation even at the 190SL's generous price of just over $5,000 at the time.
The engine is a single overhead camshaft 1,897cc four-cylinder with a pair of Solex 44 PHH twin choke side draught carburetors and 8.8:1 compression ration that raised the output to 105 DIN horsepower, double that of the 180 sedan upon which it was based, and enough to give the little two-seater a top speed of 171 kph.
4-wheel drum brakes, conventional doors, leather seats and an improved single-pivot swing axle rear suspension complemented its conception for cruising rather than competing. As he so many times demonstrated, Max Hoffman's understanding of the right cars for the U.S. market was on target and the 190SL sold well even in mid-Fifties Europe. More than 26,000 190SLs were produced between 1955 and 1963, outselling the expensive 300SL by about eight to one.
Hoffman and Mercedes-Benz continued to develop the 190SL, during production offering removable hard tops in two styles (small and large rear windows) and accommodations for a third passenger in the tonneau with a side-facing accessory seat to widen its appeal. Features like the wheel well "eyebrows" linked it directly to its larger and more famous stablemate, the 300SL.
The 190SL has stood the test of time well. The characteristics of simplicity, reliability, styling, design and comfort that made it popular in the Fifties continue to resonate well with later generations. Mercedes-Benz style and quality have remained valued attributes. While a 190SL was half the price of a 300SL Roadster in the Fifties, today it is even more approachable at one-eighth the ticket of a 300SL Roadster in comparable condition.
Purchased by its present British collector owner as a restored car in 2014, this 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190SL is distinctively liveried in crisp black paint with attractively contrasting green leather upholstery, matching interior trim and a black cloth top.
It has had only five owners from new, the first two of whom, Drs. Thieden and Hansel in Germany, retained it for a total of 48 years. Dr. Hansel had it restored by renowned specialist Esdar Classic Cars in Bielefeld, Germany in 1990. The quality of Esdar Classic Cars' work is evident in its condition, nearly a decade after it was completed.
Since its acquisition it has been carefully and consistently maintained in the owner's own fully equipped shop and climate controlled facility staffed with highly experienced, trained and skilled technicians. Regularly started and attended to as needed to maintain it in ready-to-use condition, it is nearly pristine.
Equipment includes Marchal headlights, bumper overriders, colour-keyed hubcaps on factory wheels with understated blackwall tires, heater and a period multi-band radio.
The body panels are particularly attractive, evenly matched and displaying continuous, undistorted fit from front to rear. The engine compartment and chassis are essentially like new without undue embellishment. The chrome is bright and crisp, the upholstery and interior trim are taut and fresh. The top fits accurately and tightly, with good window and door seals. It has covered less than 15,000km since the restoration. Important and sometimes overlooked details such as the unblemished steering wheel rim, crisp instruments and bright interior chrome attest to its quality and consistent care.
In 1960 it would have been a second car for a successful professional or businessman, and it is so today, needing only a new owner to enjoy and experience it on the road or around town.
