The town of Tatabánya, seat of Komárom-Esztergom County, is home to a very special workshop where old cars, especially Mercedes, are restored with world-class precision and sophistication, Totalcar writes. Several professionals in the workshop have no less than decades of experience in rehabilitating old cars.

The restoration of one of the Mercedes models was followed by Supercar Blondie, who also shared some interesting facts about the processes happening in the workshop. She made a 12-minute long video about the revamp, starting from the very beginning where she steps into a – seemingly – abandoned barn and from the old and run-down Mercedes cars there, chooses a W111 to be given a new life.

The iconic classic was then taken by trailer to Motor Classic’s astounding workshop in Tatabánya, where the restoration work began. In Supercar Blondie’s video, we can follow a workshop visit where she takes us through pretty much every step of the process.

According to Totalcar, an interesting feature of the Motor Classic workshop in Tatabánya is that they are able to carry out almost every step of the restoration process in-house, employing specialists with decades of experience.

They spend hundreds of hours making authentic upholstery and they also don’t take polishing lightly. If a part cannot be sourced for a car, they can reconstruct it with serious metalworking machines. What can be salvaged is restored with amazing precision to look as if it just came out of the factory. Even the car in question turns out to be something like that by the end of the video.

Supercar Blondie takes the finished W111 for a drive. The automobile is still a great-looking car, and thanks to the restoration by the professionals, it will be for a long time to come.
