The new whitewall tires complement the car beautifully and provide the correct ride height.Although around 170,000 Mercedes W121 cars were produced, including diesel versions, it is rare to see one today. In fact, when searching for a Mercedes 190 sedan, you will likely find far more 190SLs on the market.

This example is all original and has covered only 63,500 km.Interior: Inside the Mercedes 190b it is as if time stood still. The car was ordered with extra Mercedes blankets to lay on the seats, and they have been there since the car was new. The headliner is all original and without stains.

Those very difficult plastic panels on the dashboard and around the windscreens are also perfect, since the car was always stored in a garage away from sunlight. The Mercedes 190b still has the original rubber mats in perfect condition. All instruments and switches are in full working order, even the clock. The vintage Mercedes 190 has a blue theme that starts from the inside of the car and continues to the outside. This lovely interior is very visible through the big, clear glass.

Cars with very low mileage are sometimes the result of having been parked in a garage for decades, which can be detrimental and often requires a small restoration to return them to proper condition. This Mercedes 190b, however, has been regularly driven and kept in traffic throughout its life. Most importantly, it has always been carefully maintained. The oil was changed every year, even if the car was only driven to the technical inspection station and back. In recent years, a stainless-steel exhaust has also been fitted.History: The truly unique history and low kilometer reading of this 1960 Mercedes 190b make it remarkable. It was sold new in Sweden on the 12th of April, 1960. The first owner, born in 1907, kept the car until he passed away in 1993. His brother then took it over until his own passing in 1996. After that, it went to a collector who kept it until 2001, and finally to the current owner, who has had it ever since.If you have a classic Mercedes or BMW that you would like to sell please let us know here.
