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.

SLSHOP Credentials

SLSHOP is a family-run, independent Mercedes-Benz specialist based in Warwickshire, UK. Undoubtedly, we set the benchmark when it comes to the R 107 SL. As well as setting the standards, we forge an example for others to follow. Over the years, through our work with classic SLs, we’ve developed an intimate understanding of these superb cars. As such, we’ve built a knowledge and skill base that cannot be rivalled.

Furthermore, our thriving parts department ships classic Mercedes-Benz components worldwide. In addition, our workshops are full of a great many exciting classic Mercedes-Benz restorations. Similarly, in our showroom, you’ll find some of the very best cars available. Not only do we have the R 107 SL, but we also have all generations of SL and more. Above all, our core passion is the R 107. But our knowledge and interest spreads to all Mercedes-Benz models. Consequently, our parts store caters to all manner of classics. Without a doubt, our workshop is a treasure trove of Stuttgart’s finest.

SAM BAILEY – MANAGING DIRECTOR

Sam grew up with all manner of classic cars. Above all, it was his passion for all things automotive and ambition that launched The SLSHOP. He doesn’t like to compromise, especially when it comes to presentation and service. Unquestionably, what drives Sam is being at the forefront of the industry. Also, his passion for finding or producing elusive, hard-to-find classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles that cannot be obtained anywhere else.

BRUCE GREETHAM – DIRECTOR AND GENERAL MANAGER

There’s no doubt that Bruce is a serious Mercedes-Benz aficionado. In addition to his ‘famous’ 500SL, he’s owned an enviable list of classics including a 124 Coupe and a 560SEC. Besides anything else, his sharp eye and deep knowledge of the brand are utilised in all areas of the business. Not only is he invaluable in the showroom with clients, but he’s also involved in the workshop with technicians. Particularly, Bruce’s passion is concours.

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. Ultimately, there are no limits when it comes to what is possible. At SLSHOP, we dream big and we deliver. Unquestionably.

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.

Workshop Tour

For almost a decade, our team have carved a path through the classic car industry. We have, undoubtedly, become the world’s leading R107 SL expert. There’s no question that our approach and our experience is unrivalled in the industry. As a result, it’s no surprise that R107 clients began to ask us to work on other Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Our breadth of knowledge and passion serves us and them well.
