Actual report
The Mercedes Benz 280SL w113 restoration at Riga Master Workshop advanced this week with the focused removal of the soft top for inspection and future restoration. As these photographs illustrate, the softtop mechanism, its storage compartment, and associated hardware were carefully dismantled. A key finding is the preservation of the car's original finish and components in the softtop well. We are meticulously documenting these historical traces as we proceed, which is vital for an authentic restoration and provides valuable reference data to assist other restorers seeking to preserve this model's original appearance.
