  • As the brainchild of legendary European car importer Max Hoffman, the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster was designed to serve as a more lifestyle-oriented complement to the extraordinarily expensive, racing-derived 300 SL. Hoffman suggested the smaller car share the 300 SL’s curvaceous, instantly recognizable shape, allowing both the hardtop coupe and the subsequent roadsters to share a design language that was unique to the Stuttgart automaker in the early 1950s. Both the six-cylinder 300 SL and four-cylinder 190 SL models received much acclaim from contemporary news outlets. Unsurprisingly, the less expensive 190 SL vastly outsold its “big brother,” proving that Hoffman’s knack for success was unparalleled among automobile importers. Both the 190 SL and the 300 SL were virtually identical cosmetically in roadster form and thus gave birth to the legendary Mercedes-Benz SL-CLass.

    The magnificent 1956 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster featured here is finished in classic and highly desirable Black over a Deep Red interior with a Black folding convertible top. This exquisite motorcar was beautifully restored and is ready to be shown or driven. A recent service was performed with all new tires, hoses, and the like. With only three meticulous owners from new, its highly desirable color combination, and its high-level restoration make this the perfect example to add to any premier collection. We are proud to offer this investment-grade 190 SL Roadster to the most particular collector, investor, or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this iconic German classic.

    Financing

    Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


    We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


    We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


    Terms available up to 144 Months


    If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
