Classic Mercedes Restoration
At The SLSHOP, we’re driven by our customers. In the beginning, we were a small business specialising solely in the R 107. Since then, we’ve grown into a full classic Mercedes-Benz enterprise. Now, we have customers all round the world. Through servicing and restoring 107 SLs, we’ve been asked to handle various tasks, big and small, on all manner of classic cars. As a result, this has given us the experience and skills to restore any classic Mercedes-Benz. As well as our well-known work with the R 107, W 113 and R 129, we’ve restored and worked on many Mercedes models, including 300 SEL 6.3s, W111 280 SE 3.5s, Pontons, W116, W123, and more. So, if you have a classic Mercedes-Benz and are considering some improvements or a restoration, do get in touch.

Restoration
Restoration. (Noun), a return of something to a former, original, normal, or unimpaired condition. But why stop there? Above all, here at SLSHOP we settle for nothing but the best. As a result, we have the skills, the experience, and the knowledge to rebuild your classic Mercedes-Benz to its factory specification. Or better.

SLSHOP Craftsmanship
Ultimately, the quality of a finished piece lies in the strength of the craftsmanship throughout. Therefore, we apply the same detail to every aspect of your build and restoration. Not only does this include the final fitment of chrome, but everything from the way we bolt the seats to the paintwork. After all, with our years of experience, we know these cars well enough to understand how the little details fit the big picture.
