Have you ever seen this car before? We hadn’t, we were not aware of its existence, and we thank our reader Kyle for giving us this tip.

This is the small sister of the 300SL: the 190SL was in fact built in the image and likeness of its older sister but with a price tag that can still be reached by few, but certainly more than those who could afford a 300SL, both coupe and spider. And we must also say that… Read More Little sister: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
