It's a 1961 Mercedes Benz 190SL and has a 4-cylinder inline 1,897cc engine. A descriptive note at the side of the car gave this information:
'Production of the 190SL began in 1955 and they
were styled on the much larger 300SL Roadster but with a smaller 4 cylinder ohc
engine and a twin carburetor fuel system. The last cars came off the production
line in 1963 having made 25,881. This car has recently been the subject of a
total restoration by local specialists and is now considered to be in better
condition than when first produced. Always in the shadow of its big brother
(300SL), the 190SL was a more affordable model but with the same styling
including the “eyebrows" over the wings. In recent times the value of these
cars has increased quite significantly.'
