1959 Mercedes-Benz 190-Series

This 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL was acquired 2009 out of Stockton and has been in California since new. Driven occasionally and has been garage-kept most of her life. Power comes from a 1.9-liter inline-four paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, and maintenance performed included a new shifter assembly and battery, a brake service, and regular oil and lube services. A repaint was previously performed, and a black hardtop with a plaid headliner is included.
The body was repainted some time ago in its current shade of white. Some scrapes and dents are noted.
Factory steel wheels wear color-matched hubcaps and polished beauty rings, and the tires will need replacing.
The factory stereo, clock, and heater do not currently function, and just under 74k miles are shown on the non-functional odometer.
Under the front-hinged hood, the 1.9-liter inline-four is linked to a 4-speed manual gearbox. Partial Service Records available. A replacement of major brake components was performed in September 2008 at Smythe European Mercedes-Benz of San Jose, California.
Some of the coolant hoses were replaced, and a compression test showed between 155 and 165 psi across all four cylinders.
It run and drives excellent. Clear title in hand.
