MERCEDES BENZ 190 SL 1956

MERCEDES BENZ 190 SL 1956 ELIGIBLE 1000 MILES FULLY RESTORED This extraordinary Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, one of the first examples produced, stands out for its prestigious historical pedigree. With chassis number 781, it dates back to the early months of 1956, making it one of the most sought-after cars by enthusiasts and collectors of the brand. Like all 190 SLs made until 1957, this example is eligible for the legendary 1000 Miglia, the famous historic race defined as "the most beautiful race in the world." The model features numerous details that differentiate it from later versions, including sport seats and the characteristic small-sized rear lights, details that make it particularly rare and sought after. From the official factory documents, it is evident that this car was produced in early 1956 and shipped on February 27 of the same year to the official Mercedes-Benz distributor in Los Angeles, USA. It has spent its entire life in the United States, with Oregon as the last state of registration before being imported to Italy in 2013. In 2015, it was acquired by the current owner, who initiated a complete restoration between 2016 and 2022. The work, carried out by companies specialized in the restoration of vintage Mercedes-Benz models, was conducted with the utmost respect for the original configuration, bringing the car back to its authentic splendor. In 2023, it was regularly registered in Italy and has since covered about 2000 km, demonstrating reliability and perfect efficiency. It is now for sale as, during the long period since the start of the restoration, the owner's needs have changed. This Mercedes-Benz 190 SL, perfectly restored and ready to use, represents a unique opportunity for a discerning collector who wishes to start the engine and enjoy the pleasure of driving as early as next season.
