For Sale: 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania

This 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL was acquired by the previous owner in August 1978, and it has since resided in California. The car is powered by a 1.9-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and it is finished in Ivory over red MB-Tex upholstery. The car is equipped with a double-wishbone front suspension and rear swing axles with coil springs. Equipment includes a replacement black convertible soft top, a red top boot, a rear "Kinder" jump seat, lap belts, 13? steel wheels with covers mounted with 205/70 Michelin XDX-B tires that were installed in May 2019. The 1.9-liter M121 inline-four features a pair of Weber carburetors that were installed in September 2015 along with a replacement distributor. The starter was replaced in February 2017, and an oil change was performed in 2023. The removed carburetors are included in the sale. Additional equipment includes a driver-side mirror and a bright windshield surround, grille, and bumpers. The car has been the subject of a seven-year refurbishment under previous ownership, and service in May 2019 included overhauling the brakes, replacing the tires, and changing the differential bushings, seals, and boots. The mufflers were replaced in July 2014, and the differential boots, bushings, and seals were replaced in May 2019. An Ivory steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer as well as gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 81k miles. This 190SL is now offered with a data card, service records, spare parts, and a clean Pennsylvania title that lists the car as a 1959 example.
