Workshops

Welcome to Workshops by SLSHOP. A classic car is more than just metal, it’s the key to a whole world of experience. Journeys short and long, average and epic become so much more of an adventure in the right classic car.

At SLSHOP, our business is grounded in caring for the needs of classic Mercedes-Benz owners.

We’ve outlined the essential services we supply for owners of different models from the 1950s to the early 2000s.

Our aim is to give you more enjoyment from your classic Mercedes, whether that’s through the restoration and service work we do, the parts we provide, the events we host or the experiences we create.

Your SL adventure starts here.

Pagoda & 60’s Shop Tour

In the beginning, R107 customers started bringing their 1960s cars to SLSHOP. Following this, we’ve grown into a dedicated workshop specifically for cars of this era. Here, you’ll find a wide variety of Pagodas. Of those, some are here for final touches, some for initial assessment, and everything in between. After all, every Pagoda’s needs are different. And it’s not just SLs in this workshop, either… In addition, we regularly see earlier SLs and all manner of saloons, coupes, and convertibles from this glorious era of style and statement.
So step back in time and browse our 1960s workshop here. Because who doesn’t love eyeing beautiful old cars!
