We found this superb Mercedes 190 SL parked in front of our local small boat harbour. No idea where the owner was so I could not ask about it. The plate is from about 5 years ago so it was probably re-homologated or imported into Italy at that time. The paint finish, and finish in general, is just incredible. A really well done restoration.

Looks really good and it's exactly the color the Mercedes lent my 4/4. DB190 anthracite grey (this is the name of the shade of grey and it has nothing to do with the fact that it is a Mercedes 190SL).

They are certainly a nice car and seemed to have caught on quite rapidly in the last few years with prices for the best well over £15.0K


Here for a good time not a long time!!

A wonderful looking car and personification of the term Classic.

Very tasty!
But, I do have a soft spot for the earlier SL MBs smile

After sitting at home recuperating for the last six weeks, I have watched an awful lot of car programs, and hand on heart I can say to me car designs were way more beautiful back before jelly mould aerodynamic efficiency had its way with the industry.

That is a lovely car.

Couldn't agree more. Car aesthetics now seem to be derived from jelly moulds (or perhaps blancmange moulds) as you say at one extreme and at the other copies of aggressive 'transformer' toys. No wonder there is an attraction to Morgans and other acknowledged classics where subtlety rather than aggression and novelty play a much greater part.
