This vehicle is available for viewing by appointment only in our Chicago location. Please call or text us to schedule an appointment. Survivor Classic Car Services Chicago is proud to present this beautifully restored 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190SL. Under the hood is a sporty 1.9L inline 4-cylinder engine paired to a 4-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels. The Mercedes was recently serviced to be prepared to sale. This SL has gone through a mechanical and cosmetic restoration including a repaint, fresh interior, fresh tires, steering linkage overhaul, new timing chain, and a plethora of other items. Most recently, the engine oil, coolant, and fuel was flushed, and the fuel tank was replaced. The SL was brought to Illinois in 2014 from California. At that time, prior to the aforementioned work, it was inspected and given a 4.3 our of 5 rating by an independent inspector! Included with the car is the attached soft convertible top, a removable hard top & stand, and paperwork history from 2014. This Benz starts easy with a little bit of choke, finds idle quickly, and loves winding out the gears! The transmission shifts smoothly From gear to gear with positive engagement. The clutch holds strong with no signs of slippage or abuse. The suspension is firm, but compliant, and wont bounce you around like a pogo stick. Although it is only rated at 105 horsepower, with a weight of just over 2,500lbs, this nimble convertible can cut corners and stop on a dime! This well kept and well restored classic SL is a beautiful addition to any collection, or an excellent Sunday cruiser. Das solltest du nicht verpassen! (Don't miss out!)
