VIDEO: THE MERCEDES-BENZ 190SL IS DISPLACED IN TIME!

This 190SL owner took matters into his own hands and converted his car to Rennsport spec and making it arguably better-looking than the real thing. 

In addition to the car's low-cut windshield, lower doors, and missing soft-top roof, this SL has been painted a tasteful shade of dark grey, with a sort of green accent. The colour is incredibly tasteful, and that yellow headlight covers and added driving lights don’t hurt either.

The owner – Michael Potiker – says a set of Weber carburettors mounted to the SL's inline-four makes the throttle an "on-off switch", which gives an instant response to the great sound that's expected of a cafe racer from this area. 

Have a look at the video to see Petrolicious explore Potiker's SL as he drives through Los Angeles in style.
