Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Between 1955 and 1963, just 26,000 190SLs were manufactured with many of them destined for export to the United States. This very rare 1956 Mercedes-Benz 190SL is complete and intact with its original identification plates and stampings throughout. Power comes from the factory twin-carbureted M121 4-cylinder engine paired with the factory 4-speed gearbox. I recently purchased this beauty from the long time 2nd owner here in Dallas, Texas. I have documentation including the original owners & instructional manual along with a few photos of the original owner with the car in 1959. For the previous 30+ years, this has been a Sunday driver car-- garaged and occassionally taken out and enjoyed on beautiful weekend days. I have the original twin Solex carburetors, although these were replaced with upgraded units for reliability sake. An alternator is currently providing the charge. This particular 190SL is one of the better driving cars of this vintage you will find anywhere. The mileage of 67,484 is believed to be original to the car.
