"A car that immediately exudes the right feeling. The history, condition, and driving experience. The model’s appeal remains strong, as represented here by the second-to-last model year."

Description

It was registered to its first new owner in April 1962 and was likely delivered by Philipsons in Gothenburg. Five years later, a shipbroker took over the care of the car, and it seems that the car remained on the west coast in the Gothenburg area. From 1990 until the current owner purchased the car in 2008, it resided in Mölnlycke, just outside Gothenburg. The most recent approved inspection was carried out on 2019-08-20, and since then, it has been exempt from inspection.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts easily, runs smoothly with good brakes, and has a gearbox that’s easy to shift once you’ve learned the position of the reverse gear. The owner has regularly serviced the car at a workshop with a taste and expertise for the model. It has likely covered a total of just over 115,000 kilometers, with the odometer having rolled over and restarted. The current odometer reading is therefore 15,445 kilometers.

  • Interior condition:

    Beautifully patinated original leather interior, complemented by an equally attractive instrument panel. There is a small seam that needs repair on the driver’s seat. The gauges and details are stylish, and it includes an original Blaupunkt radio, although its functionality has not been tested.

  • Exterior condition:

    Older repaint in the original color, but otherwise, the car appears to be in untouched original condition. The undercarriage is clean and straight, with a tidy trunk area featuring near-new paint under the mats. A well-preserved hardtop in matching original color, never used by the current owner, is included. The soft top is intact, clean, and unfaded.

  • General condition:

    Sold new in Sweden and likely locally rooted in the Gothenburg area throughout its life. Well-preserved with a distinct original feel. A 190 SL in extraordinarily pleasant and fine condition.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. 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.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
