Are these (I see two in the workshop) “your” cars or customer cars? Either way, lucky owner/future owner

In total we have three 280SL restoration projects at present moment. They all are our customers cars and we are only restoring them.

Looks very nice indeed. Hard to tell from the different lighting in the photos- what is the color?

Midnight Blue - code 904G

Excellent selection, and of course I am a little biased, my 1970 280 SL is 904 (with red leather)

Blue finish looks spectacular! Outstanding workmanship overall.

Looks great. Very impressive.
Out of curiosity, how many hours do estimate for a restauration like this?

mbebrim · « **Reply #58 on:** October 13, 2021, 04:10:29 »

Thank you. Average restoration of the w113 take about 1500 hours. This particular restoration project will take little more about 1800 hours.

Yup, it’s a lot of work and not everybody understands that.
Thanks
