190SL Mercedes-Benz A Brief History…
Produced from May 1955 to February 1963, this two-door grand touring convertible with a removable hardtop was one of the premier cars of the 1954 New York Auto Show. Offering a four-cylinder inline engine and top speed of 106 mph (171 km/h), the 190 SL was marketed to enthusiasts who couldn’t stretch to a Gullwing and didn’t need the extra performance.
A total of 25,881 units were produced and today can range from a few thousand for a 190 SL in poor condition to over $50,000+ for an excellent to mint condition model.

“Such an easy and great experience. Selling my fathers vintage Mercedes was one of the most emotional experiences, and Alex and his team made me comfortable knowing it was going to someone who’s gonna love and care for it…”
“I had a Mercedes barn find for sale (actually 2 different Mercedes) and contacted Alex. I have never sold a vehicle online before. Alex and his employees made the entire process very easy. They sent all the paperwork for us to complete, they were patient while we waited for the cashier checks to clear the bank, and then then sent someone to pick up the vehicles. They were a great group to work with and really put us at ease.”
“Dealing with Alex and his entire team was a real pleasure. I am still very busy at my business and his team helped me through the complete process. And more importantly, they were patient and understanding when I was busy. It was a real positive experience (although I miss my 250 SL a little) :-)”
“This is the 3rd classic Mercedes that Valarie Van Dam has helped with with, a true professional. I would recommend her to anyone considering selling a classic car through Alex Manos. Everything went as planned and no hassles. Made the sale on Saturday and on Monday the funds were wired to my bank then when the funds cleared the bank the transport arrived 2 days later. You don’t have to worry about someone trying to steal your classic or rip you off. Very safe transaction. Thank you to the Alex Manos team, job well done!”
“As a Sr. Citizen looking to sell my cherished vehicle I had much anxiety. Once the initial contact was made from this company I knew I was in good, honest hands. Their customer service skills, patience with any technical requests were comforting. I could see I was working with a team who knew what they were doing. Each of them were knowledgeable and informed. Everything they said would happen during the transaction happened.When their driver arrived to complete the deal I was glad I chose this company to do business with.I am beyond pleased.”
“My experience with the Alex Manos staff was a dream come true after the nightmare of my husband’s sudden death. He had a 1979 280SL Euro model sedan that was cosmetically lovely but mechanically ‘frozen’. After scouring my local mechanics for help, I realized no one here had the resources, personnel or interest to take it on. I was told the only option was to sell it to a junk yard, where it would surely lay rusting into the mud as parts would not be available, and fixing it would be twice the cost of what it was worth. I contacted the Alex Manos company, and after an uplifting phone call with Valerie, we agreed on a sale. Immediately after, they coordinated transportation, Title transfer & bill of sale processes, and within a week it was on its way to CA. With great relief, I was assured the car wouldn’t be sold for scrap or parted out, that it would be detailed and fixed and sold…which felt like the best possible outcome for a weary widow liquidating assets toward closure of the estate. As I said in my letter to them, they are famous for ‘spinning straw into gold’ (as their many website photos prove) They are the one company with the resources, the personnel and the *heart* to restore treasured-yet-challenging vehicles, and I & my family recommend them without reservation and with grateful hearts.”
“Very easy and NO STRESS transaction when selling the car….they walked me thru everything from start to completion of pick up. Thanks!”
“In buying my car Alex and I faced a lot of hard work. The car had been in storage for 30 years, but a nice photo of it alerted him to its potential. The original title had been lost and this required many interactions with the California DMV to buy a replacement, with the receipt functioning to permit Alex to move forward with the purchase. Alex guided me expertly through all the necessary steps. And finally, when the time came for moving the car from the Sacramento area to LA, he had engaged a towing company which worked closely with me and the storage place to schedule the arrival of their truck–necessary because I live some distance from the storage place myself. It all went pretty smoothly, thanks to Alex’s expert and professional help.”
