Mercedes-Benz Help

Does anyone know which model this Mercedes-Benz is? I looked through the database and didn't see it.



It says "s320" at one point in the image URL, but a quick search of S-Class bodystyles shows nothing with lights like those.

Thanks guys.

It should be a 190SL.

Thanks a lot. That's what it appears to be. Are they pretty rare?

During classic car rallies in Moscow there are almost always several of them. I don't think they're too rare, but being a classic car, it's nevertheless much more rare than Toyota Corolla

It was a contemporary of the 300SL. Seeing as it was a good deal cheaper, it sold a good deal more (According to Wikipedia: 25,881 190SLs vs. 3,258 300SLs). So compared to the 300SL, not rare. Compared to, say, a contemporary Ford, it's somewhat rare.

Hi
It is a 190SL as some have pointed out already.

The fact is that here in Spain there are also a good bunch of them in every show.
I think that MB providing ANY spare part (price is another story...) helps A LOT in deciding to restore one of these.

It is quite annoying to have a car sitting at your garage for 6 months with a fuel pump broken for example, because there are no or very few original spare parts....
