Description

Mercedes-Benz 190 SL W121 from 1956, in perfect condition.

The vehicle has been in the hands of its current owner since 2010, the year in which it was acquired after being imported from the United States. A complete and perfect restoration was carried out, completed in 2017 after being registered as a historic vehicle in Spain.

This unit has received a very careful and comprehensive professional restoration, by some of the best specialists in classic Mercedes-Benz. The impeccable work done on the bodywork stands out, lacking corrosion or structural rust of any kind.

All sections of the bodywork and frame have been stripped of paint and worked from scratch, without the use of treatments that hide undesirable defects.

In the mechanical section, both the engine and the gearbox are the originals (matching numbers), and have been completely rebuilt. Right now they are like fresh out of the factory.

Under the bonnet, all its elements are new and purchased from original Mercedes-Benz spare parts, or alternatively they have been restored, restoring their perfect functionality. A set of Weber carburettors have been fitted, more reliable and powerful than the original Solex ones.

The interior of the vehicle presents an unbeatable appearance and level of manufacture, highlighting the use of exquisite 'grain leather' in a beautiful light brown tone, which is extremely pleasant to the eye and to the touch. It retains the rare and highly valued original Becker Eurona Kurier radio, with ivory buttons, matching the steering wheel and gear lever knob.

Finally, it should be noted that a significant part of the work carried out was done by the famous restorer; 'Cochera' in Madrid, which in turn, has been a supplier of practically all parts and components necessary for the restoration of the vehicle. A large number of invoices are available, which can be delivered together with the vehicle after its acquisition.

It is for all this that we find ourselves before one of the best units available in the entire market, and an opportunity to acquire a vehicle in a contest condition, without any defect and authentically restored.This Classic Car is for sale on Catawiki.
