I visited Kienle several times while I was in Germany 2001-2005.  They have one of the finest shops for Mercedes in the world.  They restore any age to perfection.  The shop is clean and well organised.  The owner took me and a friend through his shop for a tour.  His show room had perfectly restored cars that would win a concours show hands down.  If you can visit it is well worth the trip.

I will post professional pics, i am waiting for a friend to take the photos.
 There is no perfect car but this one is very good. The car was in kinle with the price of 119.000€. My very good friend, who sell me the car, spent 30.000€ more after the 119.000 € because it was not perfect for him. A 2 year warranty was given and after 2 months of use the car went again to germany for repair. Oh, I just forgot to say that he paid 10.000€ more just to put a modern aircondition.
The car has a Mercedes serie C  alternator and a very Nice small crome console. He sold this car because it was not perfect for him, and yes, it was almost like a gift.
What I really like in this car is the filling of driving a new car.

I am living a dream...... :)

Thanks badali and knock for your posts.

There was a brown 280 SL there in 2004 for 90,000 euro.  So the cost of his restorations are still very high but you get what you pay for.  Top quality work.
