Actual report

The Mercedes Benz 280SL w113 restoration at Riga Master Workshop is proceeding with the careful dismantling and inspection of the door's interior and exterior elements. As these photos illustrate, the door handles, chrome trims, and scuff plates were meticulously removed. A crucial finding is the retention of the car’s original finish and factory fittings in hidden areas, which is being thoroughly documented. We will continue to meticulously trace and record all these historical details. This process ensures the highest level of authenticity for our restoration and assists other restorers in preserving this model's original appearance.
