Because of his age, Mr. R. decided to sell the car this year (2018), after 57 years of ownership. He actually sold a part of his life to us. We are very happy and proud we had the opportunity to buy this real gem. The car is in a very good condition with respect to its age and especially its history. The paint and mechanical works were done in the 2004/2005 restoration. A lot of mechanical works have been redone in 2013/2016. It was the choice of Mr. R. to never re-do the 2 seats; he loved the patina and originality of the seats. They are still 100% original from the 1961 delivery. Carpeting etc. was renewed. With respect to the beautiful history of this car we leave it as it is and it’s up to the next owner of this great unique 190SL to refurnish the seats or not.<
