Don't forget the MB Classic center in Cali. They would have EVERYTHING you need for this car.
The cool thing about Mercedes is that they will still stock parts for 50 and 60 year old cars. If they do not have it here they willget it from Germany or make it from the original designs if they have to... This comes in handy for things like trim pieces that are impossible to find.

Matty,
Welcome to the joys and tribulations of trying to get one of these beauties up and operational again. I am in my second year of restoring a early 56 190SL. There are lots of lessons learned; however, Len gave you the best suggestion... Join the International 190SL Group and learn from the best. Our web site is: http://www.190slgroup.com You can find me on the forum site. As for parts, we have a sponsors page which lists both restoration as well as parts related 190SL specialty shops. Where are you located? I am in the Richmond, Virginia area along with about 6 other 190SL owners. Look forward to hearing more from you... Rob
