Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This one-owner 1963 Mercedes-Benz 190SL boasts a remarkable history, including European delivery and over 60 years with the original owners. The car features its original Light Red paint and Parchment leather interior, with significant mechanical servicing and some cosmetic refresh work completed over the years.
Condition
7
The car has had some recent repairs and repainting (hood and trunk lid in 2019), but there is noted fading on the convertible top. The interior was refreshed in 2007, and mechanical components like the brake master cylinder, brake booster, and various engine parts have been replaced or serviced between 2016-2021. A transmission fluid leak is also noted. These factors align with a 'Very Good' condition rating, indicating slight wear visible and the need for minor reconditioning.
