1956 Mercedes 190SL for Restoration or JV build project For Sale

** UPDATE - The Car is now sold subject to payment & collection** - Advert will be removed when collected but if still interested please make contact in case it does not complete.

For sale is a 1956 Mercedes 190SL, New V5 present, matching numbers example with a known history dating back 40+ years! I purchased this car with a view to commencing a full restoration but can no longer take the project on. This is an exciting project for a committed enthusiast with great rewards assuming everything is done correctly. We commenced stripping and documenting of the car and shot blasting to assess body condition, which is OK. Many pictures and details of the proposed restoration can be shared over email if required. Original colour was light blue, with a white hard top, our plan was to restore as a convertible as much more desirable. So much info to share as well as many pictures and details, no time wasters please as we simply want to cover our costs on purchase and work so far, car is currently garaged in Devon and of not sold we will restore in 2020 to sell. Full restoration should be circa £50-£65k giving a fantastic product and return on investment as good examples are worth in excess of £135k, assuming a good market. Opportunities to spec a car of great vintage to your own taste and requirements not to be missed.

No silly offers as the car is a project and if you are considering it then you know the economics! Please do not contact if you intend to kick tyres, time wasting is annoying!........ likely to now be in Devon for viewings around mid February if needed, please do not arrange to view if you intend to offer lower than the asking price as it would be a wasted journey!..

* Update - we are now in agreement with our restorers that we can commence the project if not sold, so in addition to the offer of sale as is we can produce a complete product, relatively bespoke so if you are looking to have a completely restored car to your spec please contact me for the cost*

Car is advertised elsewhere so may well not be available however as having refused many low offers will not be sold if price not achieved, additionally been offered a few interesting part exchanges and could consider that

Available to view in South Devon if required
