Now that I am living in Florida 8 months of the year, I had my 280SL shipped here last fall. I was very fortunate to find a W113 mechanic/restorer here in Venice, Florida. He is Norman Christensen of Christensen Automotive. It's my first go around with Norm. He came highly recommended. He owns a small restoration shop. His work is excellent. He is extremely passionate about our 113's. I do not know if others out there know Norm. Hope he is the real deal.
