Overview
A 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL in black over red is about as correct a color combination as this car gets, presenting with the kind of drama the roadster was styled to project from its 1955 debut. At 10,290 miles, this example sits in a category few survivors reach, where patina and originality can coexist with mechanical freshness. The 190 SL was always more about elegance and occasion than outright performance, and a low-mileage, well-preserved example communicates that original intent more honestly than any restoration can.
Highlights
- Black over red
- Four-speed manual gearbox
- Open convertible body
- 1.9-liter SOHC four-cylinder
- Period roadster proportions
About the model
The 190 SL was produced from 1955 through 1963, sharing its styling language with the legendary 300 SL and offering a more accessible, road-oriented companion to it. Survivors in original, low-mileage condition are genuinely scarce. Collector demand has remained consistent for decades, driven by timeless design and the model's direct lineage to one of the most iconic sports cars of the postwar era.

Driven by relationship. Defined by trust.
We just took delivery of a PTS 911 Turbo S and we couldn't be happier.
As an out-of-state buyer, I had some reservations about purchasing a car sight unseen, but my experience with RFMC couldn't have been better.
I purchased a car from RFMC sight unseen, and the experience was every bit as rewarding as I had expected.
Bought sight unseen and to say it exceeded our expectations is an understatement.
Submitted an inquiry on a Sunday night and Danny responded quickly with information.
I was hesitant to buy a car online that I had never seen, but Ryan and his team made it a very easy and pleasurable experience.
I never felt any pressure to buy. Every car is in like new condition or better.

They not only have the very best one off, special hard to find vehicles, they deliver the customer service and attention to detail.
The RFMC team is TOP shelf and TRUE car people.
It didn't feel like a transaction, it feels more like I made new friends.
No games, no pressure, and no nonsense. Just honest, transparent communication from start to finish.
