"A desirable Mercedes with a lovely patina."

Description

The car was originally delivered new in Linköping in January 1963. Owner number two, from Sala, had the car during the 70s. The current owner bought the car in August 1980 in Västerås.with 77,0000 km on the clock.
It was an impulse purchase when he was actually going to buy a used VW Golf from the car dealer, but a 190 SL was standing next to the golf and he felt that he just "had to have it”. And so it became.
Between 1997 and 2008, the car was formally owned by the owner's father, as during this time they exchanged sports cars with each other, but the 190 SL remained in their then shared garage.
The car has been driven sparingly every summer since 1980. It has been insured for vintage cars for 25 years.
Today, the car has traveled 98048 km.
When the current owner bought the car, he had the engine renovated at Bennströms Bil in Västerås, invoices remain. A new convertible top was manufactured by Caleb Byström in Västerås in 1981. The car has been serviced almost every year during the 80s and 90s at Bil-City in Västerås, where the carburettors have also been adjusted.
Bil-City was run by f.d. Philipsson mechanic. The successive maintenance continued during the 2000s and in 2017-18 the following major jobs were done at Bernats Bil in Skogås:
Renovation of brakes, replacement of a taillight glass, partly new exhaust system, adjustment of carburettor, replacement of spark plugs, cleaning of tank, adjustment of throttle control, replacement of windscreen, new complete carpet set (from Germany) and oil service. A total of DKK 67,635.
Replacing the left front wing. Total including work and painting SEK 62,453.
The car has a nice patina. It has its original paint and no renovations and other measures have been done other than those mentioned above. The interior is a combination of leather and artificial leather. The car also includes a hardtop that the owner has never used. It is painted in the same graphite gray as the car.
Original jack, handbook and a lot of documentation in the form of workshop invoices and inspection protocols included. The complete carpet set is not pickled but is included in the luggage compartment.
At car meetings during the 90s and in the early 2000s, the owner sometimes received opinions that he should repaint the car and completely renovate it in general. But this never happened and the car has its patina and personality left, which is a big plus.
Now, after 42 years, it's time for someone else to take over this gem.

Facts about the model

Mercedes-Benz 190SL brukar ses som lillebror till 300SL men den var egentligen mer besläktad med W120. Motorn på 1,9 liter hade däremot sina rötter i 300SL.
190SL introducerades tillsammans med sin mer firade systermodell 300 SL på bilsalongen i New York i februari 1954. Medan 300 SL var en sportbil utvecklad ur det tidiga femtiotalets tävlingsvagnar byggde 190 SL på ett kortare chassi som hämtades från familjebilen 180. Mercedes-Benz riktade in sig på kunder som ville ha en mer ombonad och pålitlig sportvagn som var mer lämpad för långfärder än vad de brittiska och italienska konkurrenterna kunde erbjuda. Med 190 SL introducerades ett par nyheter som senare skulle komma till de mer sedesamma familjevagnarna till godo som till exempel en modern fyrcylindrig toppventilsmotor med överliggande kamaxel och en enkelledad pendelaxel som gav tryggare och mer förutsägbara vägegenskaper.
Mercedes-Benz W121 BII är en sportbil som tillverkades mellan maj 1955 och februari 1963.
