This magnificent example for sale is in absolutely new condition, having been restored in 2015 by BioInnovation in Parma.
As you can see, the vehicle has been driven very little since its restoration, keeping its new condition over the years.

It is indeed a 1955 model, out of a production run that year of 1,727 units.

The car's distinctive features include a thinner chrome trim strip on the top of the doors, the absence of a clock on the glovebox, and small white flashing lights on the front (often orange for US exports), all of which distinguish it from the models of later years.

This SL was powered by an 1897cc engine, based on the six-cylinder 300SL, with an overhead camshaft and twin Solex twin-barrel carburettors, and offered 105bhp. It comes in the legendary original Mercedes-Benz colour, Silver Grey, with a Rot Red leather interior.
In the early 1950s, Mercedes-Benz returned to competition with the 300SL, and in 1953, the marque's American importer pulled off a masterstroke by encouraging Mercedes to produce a civilian version in 1954. But Mercedes didn't stop there, and it was decided to produce a roadster based on the 300SL, but cheaper to produce and more accessible to customers: the 190SL. But the most important thing about the Mercedes 190SL was above all its lines. The designers succeeded in creating a line that remained very close to the 300SL, despite its smaller dimensions (30 centimetres shorter).

Like the 300SL cabriolet, the 190SL takes many styling cues from the 300SL coupé. The radiator grille, bumpers, headlights and many interior features are identical to those of the 300SL coupé. The 300SL cabriolet and 190SL share the same soft-top parts. However, the 190SL's rear lights were taken from the S-Class pontoon.

The 190SL already featured many options as standard for its time, including an extremely well-stocked dashboard (engine rev counter, oil pressure, battery level, etc.), leather interior, etc.

The 190SL, like the 300SL, is considered to represent the pinnacle of perfection in terms of Mercedes body design.
