Powered by a 1.9-liter M121 inline-four engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this roadster is equipped with twin Solex carburetors and features drum brakes on all four corners. The exterior is complemented by chrome bumpers with overriders, a removable body-color hardtop, a single exhaust outlet, and proper 13-inch steel wheels with chrome rings and color-matched hubcaps wrapped in thin whitewall tires. Additional details include a spare tire and a Bilstein Vigot jack, both included with the car.

Inside, the cabin reflects the understated elegance of the era, featuring desirable Gullwing-style seats, a two-spoke steering wheel, AM/FM push-button radio, analog clock, and glove box. VDO instrumentation includes a 140-mph speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level, all laid out in a clean and functional design.

The 190SL was developed alongside the iconic 300SL Gullwing, sharing much of its design inspiration while being engineered as a more accessible touring roadster, making it an important part of Mercedes-Benz history. This early-production 190SL has just come out of storage and is currently not running, presenting a great opportunity for recommissioning. With its iconic styling, sought-after features, and rich historical significance, this W121 is attractively priced and ready for a new owner to revive and enjoy its timeless charm. For $49,950
