Astounding Restoration of W121 Roadster by German Marque Specialists - Presented in Concours Winning Condition with Matching Numbers Powertrain.-“Open for joie de vivre, elegance, and departure to new destinations: the eagerly awaited Mercedes-Benz 190 SL (W 121) was launched in 1955. The two-seater Cabriolet technologically based on the upper mid-size category brought joy and color to everyday life during the years of the economic miracle. Internationally the 190 SL set standards for a culture of comfortable travel with style and sporty elegance. Together with its “elder sibling”, the 300 SL, it paved the way for the successful Mercedes-Benz SL tradition – culminating in the current R 231. Today the W 121 is a classic car that captures the imagination and fetches exceptionally good prices”.Experts in the industry and the general public alike had been dreaming of this car since the appearance of a prototype version at the International Motor Sports Show in New York in February 1954. The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL then appeared in its finished form in March 1955 at the 25th International Motor Show in Geneva where it met with a resounding response. German weekly newspaper “Die Zeit”, for example, raved about the “Mercedes-Benz 190 SL with its irresistibly beautiful lines”. The impetus for developing the Roadster came from the US-American Mercedes-Benz importer Maximilian Edwin Hoffman.The 190 SL, which went into main production in May 1955, was an open-top, two-seater car for comfortable and stylish travel.
