Vehicle Description

The 1961 Mercedes 190 SL offered here is a feast for the eyes of every lover of classic automobiles. Originally delivered to the USA, the vehicle found its way to Germany in 2004 and has been owned by the current seller since 2015. From 2015 to 2016, the car was extensively and uncompromisingly restored in Austria. 

The restoration is fully documented with photos, invoices, and a lovingly designed hardcover book. Renowned experts were involved in this project: Gritsch rebuilt the engine, Harfmann overhauled the technology, and the tinsmith, saddler, and painter are also known by name and can be contacted—a testament to the quality and transparency of the work carried out. 

The car, originally delivered in white and repainted blue in the USA, now shines in a contemporary DB-190 graphite gray, giving it a particularly elegant touch. The interior and the brown roof harmonize perfectly with this choice of color. The 190 SL is powered by a typical 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine with 105 hp coupled to a manual gearbox. 

Potential buyers need to know that the American title, German registration papers, and Austrian type certificate are present. The odometer has been converted to kilometers, and the mileage indicated refers to the kilometers driven since the restoration. The vehicle has an Austrian classic car registration and is TÜV-approved until July 2025. The only defect worth mentioning is slight wear to the soft top on the driver's side. As far as is known, the vehicle is accident-free, although it should be noted that it has been restored from the ground up anyway.

FAQ

To bid, you must register as a bidder. The registration process on HeartBids also includes registering with our free escrow. To protect our users and to comply with EU legal requirements, your identity must be verified during this process. HeartBids adheres to the highest privacy standards and never publicly shares information from the identity verification process. We only share whether the verification was successful.

With an instant bid, the amount entered is immediately confirmed as a bid. This means you can make large bid increments without numerous lower bids in between.

Absentee bidding allows you to set a maximum bid up to which bids are automatically placed for you. In this case, the absentee bid always increases by the current minimum bid. Absentee bids are especially interesting if you can not actively participate at the end of an auction and want to bid in absentia.

Please note that if there are several identical highest bids, the bidder who placed their bid first will get the bid!
The minimum bids increment depending on the status of the auction. Up to 50.000,00 €, the minimum bid is 250 €. Between 50.001 € to 100.000 €, it is 500 € and from 100.001 € the minimum bid is 1.000 €.
After you win an auction, our escrow will ask you via email to deposit the vehicle price and the commission into the escrow account. The account is automatically set up and for this transaction only. Simultaneously, you can contact the seller and arrange the vehicle transfer. The escrow will inform the seller as soon as you have deposited the money. At this moment, a 14-day payout period begins, after which the money is automatically paid out to the seller unless you object to the payout. If you need a more extended payout period, e.g., because of long transportation, you can stop the automatic payout. However, you are obliged to release the money as soon as you receive the vehicle, and it matches the description.
The buyer's commission is 6% (incl. 19% VAT) of the auction proceeds or at least 600€ (incl. 19% VAT). With increasing auction results, the percentage of the commission drops. The exact amount of commission can be found in our pricing overview
Added value for buyers:

The trust-based payment process takes place step by step, thereby preventing you from being left with no money or goods at the end of the day or paying for something that you did not order or commission. With an escrow agent, you can be sure that your contract partner endeavors to carry out the basic business quickly and to your satisfaction.

When you hand over your vehicle in person, you do not have to make a detour to your bank to withdraw cash and transport it from A to B - you just pay on delivery quickly and easily with one click

Added value for sellers

. You do not have to take any financial advance risk. The buyer or customer pays the agreed price (also partial or partial payments possible) before you ship the vehicle. Once the money has been deposited into the escrow account, the buyer won't receive the money without your consent.
