Model history

The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL was introduced in the mid-1950s as a stylish roadster for a new group of buyers. It was considered a more elegant and affordable alternative to the technically sophisticated 300 SL and impressed with its balanced proportions, comfortable two-seater design and, on request, a removable hardtop. Produced until early 1963, the 190 SL quickly became a symbol of economic prosperity and is now considered one of the most distinctive classics from Mercedes-Benz.
