1962 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Roadster
TheMercedes-Benz 190 SL(W121) is a two-door super luxuryroadsterproduced byMercedes-Benzbetween May 1955 and February 1963. Internally referred to asW121(BII or B2), it was first shown in prototype at the 1954 New York Auto Show, and was available with an optional removable hardtop.
The 190 SL presented an attractive, more affordable alternative to the exclusiveMercedes-Benz 300 SL, sharing its basic styling, engineering, detailing, and fully independent suspension. While both cars haddouble wishbonesin front andswing axlesat the rear, the 190 SL did not use the 300 SL's purpose-built W198 tubular spaceframe. Instead, it was built on a shortenedmonocoqueR121platform modified from theW121small saloon.
The 190 SL was powered by a new, slightly oversquare 105PS (77kW; 104hp) Type M121 BII 1.9L straight-fourSOHCengine. Based on the 300 SL's straight six.it had an unchanged 85mm bore and 4.3mm reduced 83.6mm stroke, was fitted with twin-choke dual Solex carburetors, and produced 120 gross hp.In detuned form, it was later used in theW120180 and W121 190 models.
