Is this the best (restored) 450SEL??

[Oversize]

I'm not sure if everyone's familiar with this car, but here's a link to parts of the restoration. I thing the most outstanding parts are the dashboard and interior trims, which have been retrimmed in leather (which is what I want to do to mine). It looks like many parts were replaced and not restored = $$$.

Oh and I just LOVE the wheels....

Note that it's in Norway, but most browsers should be able to translate.

That is just brilliant - I did not need to translate as the photos say it all. What a huge undertaking and what spectacular results!

Sounds like Geoff beat me to it, but it's the first time I've seen this thread. Unless of course I'm getting oldtimers.....

Hey MARK & ALL

Nice find indeed but CHARLLIE w116 is very famous as one of the best restoration in europe . and HELMET this one beats the original in my eyes .

A nice restoration with subtle mods.

Certainly, a lot of work has gone into the rebuild.
