"As an inspector, one must put on the steel-arched impartial glasses and reflect. This is a car that induces the desire to buy even in the most sensible people. We find nothing that requires immediate action for use. A light review before the final check at the vehicle inspection service is the overall recommendation."

Beschreibung

The exclusive Mercedes was purchased new by Engineer Kjell Ohlsson, who lived near Höglandsjön in Örnsköldsvik. On September 5, 1958, he proudly picked up his new vehicle from the local Mercedes dealer, Bergströms Bilaffär AB. The County Administrative Board assigned the car registration number Y46627.
Along with the purchase, Engineer Ohlsson also signed up for a comprehensive car insurance with Försäkringsbolaget Fyliga. Having the financial means to buy a sporty and luxurious Mercedes convertible was not something everyone could afford. The engineer owned a company that manufactured hospital beds and was doing well financially. In 1962, he decided to have the Mercedes repainted as he felt the cellulose paint was starting to look a bit dated. Moreover, there was the constant polishing required by this type of paint to keep it shiny. At that time, a young guy named Sven-Olov Hägglund worked for Engineer Ohlsson as a delivery boy, or "springschas" as it was called back then. He was tasked with transporting the car's bumpers to the paint shop on the flatbed of his delivery moped.
It was at this moment, as Sven-Olov rode down the street with a bumper loaded on the moped, that he made up his mind. He would save up money and buy the Mercedes when it went up for sale.
Years passed and Sven-Olov kept in touch with Engineer Ohlsson. At opportune moments, he reminded him of his interest in the convertible. However, Kjell Ohlsson liked his car and intended to keep it a bit longer with each inquiry. Upon Kjell's death in 1985, ownership transferred to his son. Sven-Olov continued to stay in touch, now with the first owner’s son.
They say patience is a virtue. In 2007, the day Sven-Olov had been waiting for finally arrived. He was able to buy the car of his dreams from his youth. The dreaming boy on the delivery moped was now an upper-middle-aged man. His joy in acquiring the Mercedes was immense. Unfortunately, he did not get to enjoy the car as long as he had hoped. The car was parked in 2011, and in 2021 Sven-Olov passed away. This means that the car was essentially only used by the first owner's family. The car is being sold by Bilweb Auctions, on behalf of the heirs. No one in the family feels they have the knowledge or the right interest in continuing to manage it.
Now, there is a chance to acquire a unique Swedish-sold Mercedes 190 SL that has always been in Örnsköldsvik. A car that has not been driven in winter, modified, or tampered with. During the time under Sven-Olov's ownership, the brake system was renovated with new drums and brake shoes.
The current odometer reading is 77500 km. According to the owner family/sellers who have followed the car since new, the odometer reading is accurate.
As a piece of trivia, it's noted that the Mercedes picnic blanket included has always been in the car. Reportedly, the first owner received it as a gift from the seller at Bergströms Bilaffär when he bought the car.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

  • Zustand technisch:

    The car features a straight four-cylinder 1.9-liter engine with an overhead camshaft and dual Solex carburetors. In Mercedes terminology, the engine is known as the M121 B.II and has a rated output of 120 horsepower. The transmission is a fully synchronized manual with four speeds. It starts and runs well, though it has not been road-tested.

    The car has been serviced regularly over the years and had its brakes repaired by the most recent owner. It has been off the road since 2011, started occasionally, and driven around the courtyard. It needs to be checked by the vehicle inspection service, after which it will be exempt from inspection.

  • Zustand Interieur:

    As far as we can assess and according to information from the owner's family, the interior is the original from 1958. The leather seats are beautifully patinated. The driver's seat padding is somewhat worn down and there is wear with holes in the seat. Similarly, the driver's door armrest shows wear. An expert in leather upholstery could address these issues. It is particularly appreciated during such repairs that nothing has previously been mended or altered. See the pictures.

  • Zustand Exterieur:

    Reportedly repainted in 1962, the paint is in very good condition with only minor imperfections. The first owner had the bumpers re-chromed at his own company, and they still look virtually new. A new soft top was installed in 2006. The accompanying hardtop is in untouched original condition since 1958. See separate pictures.

  • Zustand gesamt:

    This beautiful sports car comes with provenance and history beyond the ordinary. It remains an original vehicle except for the repainting in 1962 and the rechroming of the bumpers.

For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
