Mercedes-Benz 190 SL W121 — 1960


A beautifully preserved Swedish-sold Mercedes Cabriolet in showroom condition. A car with a complete history that has only driven 136,500 km since new.


This beautiful Mercedes was sold new in Sweden and registered on January 1, 1960. It has never been particularly rusty, but the previous owner fully restored the car in the late 1980s. The car was stripped down to bare metal, and the small amount of rust present was skillfully repaired. After being painted white, parts of the interior were reupholstered in the original design. The engine was replaced with a new original replacement engine from Philipsons. The restoration was completed in 1988, and the car was driven until March 1994, when the current owner purchased it.

Soon after, the new owner had it repainted in the silver metallic color it has today and further complemented the reupholstering of the interior. Over the past 30 years, the car has been used extremely sparingly—only driven 400 km—and has mostly been kept in the garage. Ongoing maintenance and repairs have been carried out over the years, as detailed under the section "Owner's Comment." The car comes with a binder containing extensive documentation, including inspection reports, service receipts, and more.

This car sells on Auction 5th of december and the bidding starts 29th of November.
