Vehicle Facts:

  • The 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL is a timeless classic roadster that blends elegant styling with refined grand touring performance. Introduced as a more accessible counterpart to the iconic Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, the 190 SL carries the same design DNA with graceful lines, chrome detailing, and a sophisticated open-top driving experience.
