Mercedes-Benz 190 SL: A 1950s Icon

Mercedes-Benz introduced the 190 SL in 1955 as the more accessible sibling of the legendary 300 SL Gullwing. It shares much of the 300 SL’s styling, from the long bonnet to the bold grille with its large three-pointed star. Yet it was designed for relaxed open-top touring rather than racing. Today, the 190 SL is one of the most sought-after classic roadsters in the world.

Engine & Driving Experience

Power comes from a 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine fed by twin Solex carburettors. It drives the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual gearbox with a floor-mounted shifter. As a result, every drive feels engaging and refreshingly analogue. Inside, tan leather seats complete the classic look, while the beige soft top folds down for open-air drives along the coast.
