A classic Mercedes is more than a car — it’s a piece of time itself. When it comes to restoration, it’s not merely a vehicle that is reborn, but the spirit, design, and atmosphere of an entire era that come back to life. The original shades, hand-stitched leather upholstery, finely gleaming chrome details, and the distinctive sound of the engine all serve one purpose: to recreate the experience that only true icons can offer. A revived Pagoda or 300SL embodies timeless engineering precision, style, and passion for automobiles.
Craftsmanship at Motor Classic: Precision in Every Detail
Restoring a classic car at the Motor Classic workshop is a process that covers every detail and takes place entirely in-house. From rebuilding the body and refurbishing the drivetrain to rewiring the electrical system, re-chroming, or handcrafting the interior, every step serves a single goal: ensuring that every element of the car stays faithful to the original specifications. This is not merely a matter of aesthetics — it’s the guarantee of authenticity.
The True Power of the Workshop: Knowledge and Technology
The greatest asset of Motor Classic lies in its human expertise. Engineers, restorers, and master craftsmen work together who don’t just understand the world of classic cars — they live in it. Their expertise is complemented by world-class technology: robotic paint systems, CNC machining centers, in-house chroming and surface treatment departments — everything under one roof, ensuring absolute quality control.
Faithfulness to the Original: A Principle, Not an Option
Our work is always guided by respect for authenticity. The Motor Classic team relies on factory documentation and production records while maintaining close collaboration with museums, archives, and manufacturers’ heritage departments. If original parts are available, we use them. If not, we reproduce them in-house using modern technologies such as reverse engineering. The result is not a replica — it’s the rebirth of the original.
Luxury Lies in the Details
Sitting inside a classic Mercedes is not merely traveling — it’s stepping into another era. The smoothly polished wood inlays, perfectly fitted leather upholstery, and harmoniously placed chrome accents all contribute to the experience. Motor Classic’s upholstery masters ensure that the interior once again radiates perfection — with the same elegance and sophistication it had when it first left the factory.
A Long-Term Relationship — Restoration Is Just the Beginning
Our clients include collectors, museums, and private owners from around the world, all united by a shared value: dedication to quality and authenticity. For us, a classic car restoration is not a one-time project — it’s a shared journey. With regular status reports, documented progress, and personal consultations, we make sure you always know exactly where your car stands in the process.
More Than a Vehicle — A Living Legacy
Classic Mercedes cars are not only technical masterpieces but enduring symbols that preserve the spirit of the past for generations. A restored vehicle is more than a collectible — it’s a family heirloom, a storyteller that gathers new memories with every mile. Motor Classic’s mission is to ensure that these cars don’t just survive, but live again — with dignity, precision, and authentic detail.
