Cees, you're a gem. Yes, It's true, it will be 40 years this October 13th that I've been working on MB cars. But there's a short story here...
Almost from the start, I had other owners asking me for help. 190SL's were rarely seen back in the early 80's and there were very few people who worked on them so I was the natural choice. Eventually, entered into 111 coupes and then 113's buying a 280SL in 1988. I sold that car and restored it for the owner about 10 years later who still owns this car today. I don't know how many cars I've worked on but I'd have to guess well over 100. It's not a business that involves a lot of cars - it involves a lot of work.
I started out as Caron Enterprises in 1982 and then changed the business name to Benz Barn around 1996. A couple of years went by and and MBC locked on to that name so I was forced to change to another new name. We are now an Ontario numbered a company operating as SL Barn.
I want to have a party this year to celebrate this milestone and I will be posting with more information about it in the coming months.
