17025002 - Mercedes Benz 190 SL Cabrio - Light Blue (HO Scale)
The “little” roadster in the shadow of its larger 300 SL sibling
Even while it was still in production, the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Cabrio was a highly popular item at WIKING – as young buyers were more than happy to purchase this dream car. With the 190 SL, Mercedes-Benz approached the territory of its big brother" in the fifties – even though the 300 SL gullwing offered, of course, greater splendour and speed. At the “International Motor Sports Show” in New York, Mercedes-Benz presented both of the SL models, which have remained mythical and legendary to this day. Mercedes-Benz liked to describe the 190 SL as a "touring sports car" in their brochures. The coexistence of two different SL series at the time was unique in the history of Daimler-Benz and was later withdrawn. WIKING is revitalising the historic moulds of the Mercedes-Benz 190 SL and is presenting the summer-loving convertible with contemporary paintwork in light blue."
