*Left-hand drive
*Appealing colour combination
*Vendor says very good mechanically
The 190SL remains one of the best of the post-war boulevardiers – not an out-and-out sports car but a convertible with reasonable performance and, to this day, highly attractive lines. Offered here is a 1959 left-hand drive whose body, ivory paintwork and trim is vendor-described as very good, while the red interior is rated as very good throughout. Our vendor says engine starting, running and presentation is very good and the running gear again is reported to be very good.
Coming to the auction in vendor-assessed very good order throughout, this post-war boulevardier is at home in town as in the countryside.
