1959 MERCEDES-BENZ 190

Finished in Ferrari Azzurro Metallic with a beautifully contrasting beige leather interior, this exceptional 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL RHD is offered in as-new restored condition, showing just 66 miles. Fitted with the desirable 4-speed manual gearbox and powered by its 1.9-litre petrol engine, this is a wonderfully individual example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most elegant classic roadsters.The car was originally commissioned through Joe Macari for a client who wanted to surprise his wife with something truly special. As a personal touch, the 190 SL was refinished in her favourite Ferrari colour, Azzurro Metallic, giving the car a unique and highly distinctive specification while perfectly complementing its timeless 1950s lines.A full nut-and-bolt, frame-off restoration was carried out in Germany by renowned SL specialists, SL Classics, including a complete engine restoration. The process is documented on a USB stick within the history file. The restoration alone is understood to have cost £125,000 in 2016, with the client paying Joe Macari approximately £200,000 for the completed car.Remarkably, following completion, the car was admired rather than driven, before later being sold by Joe Macari to its most recent private owner for his collection, where again it remained unused. Today it presents in outstanding condition throughout, and with the cost of sourcing a suitable donor car and replicating a restoration of this calibre now comfortably exceeding £300,000, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully specified, right-hand drive manual 190 SL with a remarkable story and superb provenance.We now accept cryptocurrency.OPTIONAL FEATURESFerrari Azzuro Metallic PaintworkWheels Painted in Ferrari Azzuro MetallicBeige Leather InteriorSTANDARD FEATURESChrome Exterior Trim (Badging, Grille Trim, Headlight Bezels, Indicator Bezels, Bumpers, Bumper Guards, Wheel Arch Trims, Antenna Trim, Exterior Mirrors, A-Pillar Trims, Sill Trims, Taillight Trims, Fuel Filler Cap, Tailpipe)See 'View all spec and features' for full standard features.
