1961 Mercedes‑Benz 190 SL (W121, B2) – Nut & Bolt Restoration Description This late‑production 1961 Mercedes‑Benz 190 SL is an exceptional example of the iconic W121, presented in outstanding condition following a complete nut‑and‑bolt restoration completed in 2024. Showing 33,518 miles on the odometer, this car combines collector‑grade presentation with excellent mechanical performance. It retains its 1.9‑liter M121 4‑cylinder engine (120 hp) and 4‑speed manual transmission. It has been long‑term owned in Denmark with Danish title and registration—a rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored 190 SL that drives as beautifully as it presents. Body and Paint The paintwork is in excellent condition, with no scratches, dents, blemishes, or visible imperfections. Panel gaps are uniform and factory‑correct, reflecting the high standard of the restoration. Chrome trim, bumpers, grille, and exterior details are in excellent condition, with a bright, mirror‑like finish. Rubber seals around doors, windows, and the boot lid are fresh and fit properly. Windows and lights are clear, free of cracks, and function correctly. The chassis is in perfect condition, fully restored and structurally sound. No known accident damage. Any welding performed during the restoration was completed professionally as part of the full nut‑and‑bolt process. No areas currently require welding or structural attention. Technical Condition Powered by the original M121 1.9‑liter inline‑four, delivering smooth and strong performance. The engine starts easily, both hot and cold, idles cleanly, and runs without hesitation. Gearbox shifts smoothly through all gears; clutch operation is precise and free of slipping. No abnormal noises or major leaks from engine, gearbox, or drivetrain. Brakes have been serviced and operate confidently and straight. Suspension components are in excellent condition, providing a stable and comfortable ride. Tires are in good condition with ample tread.
