My Grandfather was a Big Fan of Mercedes Benz in the 1960's , 70's and 80's. He kept them all in top shelf condition! Your excellent work is really appreciated!👍👍👍
Perfection! I'm restoring a 42 years old Land Rover and seeing this video is like a car-porno trailer! Keep the good work and effort restoring these beautiful cars!
I was expecting in mid of the video it will totally turn to regular Brabus stuff .... And than we fit a supercharger, new suspension and brakes! It is 600hp classic as ot would be in period but better! I actually really like that Brabus has genuine classic car department
I did not believe there were such dedicated companies and restoration technicians that did such incredible work, if ever there were cars that should be restored to this level surly it must be Mercedes Benz! This is jaw dropping work, God bless everyone involve... What truly fulfilling work 🙏
@@ianmuir6784 Yes there is, to varying degrees of restoration. Yet Brabus is arguably one of the very best if not The best in my opinion. What an art form!
Fabulous and beautiful where is the honesty and the correct lucrative German posture and quality what do you think will come back sometimes I keep my fingers crossed 👍 🍀
@@PatBuckleyracecar he cares because he has a heart for the car, brand or the workmaship. So if whoever disliked the video didn't like what they saw, then they should have just left and we wouldn't be bothered by your comment
250 to 300. Grand I should think But it will be much better the new because it will be rustproofed. So it should last forever. Well a couple of lifetimes at least.
The huge money for these restorations seems a little ridiculous to me, perhaps it is art. I expect a simple sundry drive is all the owners allow and thus it's perhaps an indulgence for the very rich. Better than an art painting though :-). Keeps the skills alive and industry is kept alive around restorations which is a good thing.
Yeah, if I had this kind of spare cash I'd find joy driving a classic that performs like a modern car. I've owned pristine 'old' cars, and *they are not a joy to drive.*
Is that rust protection you apply really that good? how about those restored cars that stay parked outside in the rain, are they really free of rust after 2 years ? of course advertisements are always great, but does the workmanship you produce keep it up to your advert in real ? for example the rust protection is better done in a wet zinc bath where the cars body is entirely submersed, galvanisation processea are used. non of that is seen in your advert but a simple paint.
Very interesting you can't even buy new genuine part for w116 ashtray or w115 door handle,for pagoda gear shift knob so bottom line you only can fabricate these parts,they told me in mercedes europe that you can't anymore buy parts for these oldtimers and this cars on video are even older pagoda like mine,so all of this parts are not genuine one they are fabricated so car when is restored is not assembled with genuine parts then with fabricated,so car is fake.
Brabus is a Mercedes-Benz certified fabricator ..meaning they make genuine Mercedes Benz part on their own the same as Mercedes would make if they had the time on their hands to do this parts but since they don't have they shifted that responsibility to Brabus.. even if you take your car to Mercedes-Benz in Germany they will get their parts from Brabus
@@phinadelphiahlongwane3485 Sir i want to order some parts for chassis w180/182,w111/112 fintail,w108,w116,w115 and man responsible for classis parts in mercedes in stuttghart reply on my email that these parts what i need they are not anymore possible to order-delivery discontiued by factory,and i ask him is there any possible place to order a new genuine parts,he told me try ebay or some traders who deal with merc parts he didn't mentioned brabus and what i can get is just used ones,i don't want used parts (the owner of car wants just new and genuine),so for example on one of cars what i want to restore for him,we need complete new wooden dash,car don't have it for w180,chrom parts of interior,inside a lot of chrome levers and handles are missing,missing right headlight,left rear light,car have broken gear lever situated behind the steering-wheel,you know lever with black small plastic on the top of the lever,i think it is made of bacelit,for engine we need to do complete overhaul,since we can't find any spare part for engine (pistons,piston rings,connecting rods and etc..) i think he will sell it,or scrap it,further more w112-also complete wooden interior we need,some engine parts,boonet,left rear driver door,i want to emphsize that can get aftermarket but not genuine and i am from old world,not from Usa,also in europe we have a lot of this shops which fabricate custom parts for german classic cars but they are not genuine they are fabricated to match genuine,but it is far way of genuine because in most of cases you can't fit this parts and believe really,also regarding other chassis you know that for example merc has strange colour of interior for example blue,green or brown on chassis,so also you can't find blue,green or brown dash to match the rest of car and so on,to be honest i can suggest the brabus,but i am not making decisions the owners do,i am just telling you what is happening with genuine spare parts in europe.
“Thousands of hours” is your first clue. At $75/hour (just a guess), you’re at $225,000 for 3,000 hours (also a guess) and you haven’t even bought a single part yet. :-)
The warranty is a joke. No body wants unlimited mileage as you would not be driving a classic that much or that often If they were serious about warranty give a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. A modern Japanese or Korean car would offer such.
Have never read the most stupidest comments ever smells of glue ? no soul ? I'm sure first of all it will smell of leather and if you got into the car blindfolded you couldn't tell the difference they're just jealous amateur car experts period!
Restoring old cars should be considered a crime if the intent is to put them back on the road. Why spend billions on improving car safety if old junk is put back on the road. Re-cycle whats possible, keep one in a museum.
idiot, its not junk, its more of an experience to enjoy, cars can be much more than getting a to b, new cars are electronic and plasticky, it takes away from the experience for those who love that mechanical feel. you are a small minded idiot
Too bad modern MB are ugly, unreliable and thus cost next to nothing on a used market. The moniker of Gypsy Mercedes has arose in the past 40 years thanks to MB shoddy workmanship and engineering.
I think,you’re underestimating the efforts of this professionals . Yes in fact many new parts are brand new. But The essence still the Same. I respect your point of the “purists” and the values of times and historical facts about every single car. I never Have in my life a OKM car . Second hand third hand. If a could have the opportunity to send My classic or vintage Benz to their department, I will do it whiteout doubt .
@@briggsquantum You probably have no idea about car restoration. A new car would be created here, and no car restored .... This is for customers who have just as little understanding of classic cars .... These "new cars" are worth less than a good original ..... these "New cars" are undesirable nowadays and anyone who knows something about classic cars doesn't want to have them .... After FIVA, the property of a classic car has been lost ...... And yes, I have a driver's license and I restore classic cars myself. ...
