The restoration journey begins with finding the right models. We search for Pagodes and 190SLs that may have seen better days but possess the inherent qualities of their original designs. Whether in a private collection or stored in a garage, these cars often require significant restoration to bring them back to life. We assess their condition thoroughly, noting the essential elements that need attention—bodywork, chassis integrity, engine performance, and interior quality.

Once the purchase is complete, the real work begins. Our skilled technicians carefully disassemble the vehicles, documenting each component and assessing its condition. Photographs are taken, and notes are made regarding any issues. This allows us to develop a comprehensive restoration plan tailored to each car's unique needs. During this phase, we also conduct a detailed inspection of the car's underlying structures. The frame and chassis must be sound to ensure the vehicle's safety and performance. For Pagodes, this includes evaluating the famous "safety cell" design, while for the 190SL, we pay special attention to the classic swing axle suspension, which is critical for driving dynamics.

With the inspection complete, we move on to the bodywork. For both models, rust is a common issue, given their age. Our restoration team carefully removes any rusted sections, employs advanced metalworking techniques, and fabricates replacement panels as needed. Each car is meticulously restored to ensure its structural integrity and is treated to withstand the elements for years to come.

With the body restored, we turn our attention to the mechanical components. Our team of experts meticulously rebuilds the engines, transmission systems, and drivetrains to meet or exceed the factory specifications. For the Pagode, we often upgrade the braking systems and cooling systems for better performance, ensuring that these beauties not only look stunning but drive like they did when they first rolled off the assembly line.

The interior of a classic car is where the essence of its luxury lies. We take great care in restoring the interiors of both the Pagode and the 190SL. Original materials are sourced whenever possible—rich leather, genuine wood trim, and period-correct fabrics to create an authentic driving experience. Our upholstery specialists ensure that every stitch and seam is perfect, transforming the interior into a plush sanctuary that invites both drivers and passengers to enjoy the ride.

After every component of the Pagode and 190SL has been restored, the final touches are added. This includes polishing chrome accents, installing new weather stripping, and ensuring that every detail matches the original specifications. Our quality assurance team conducts rigorous testing, from engine performance to driving dynamics, ensuring that each classic car is not only visually stunning but also performs as it should.
