    Absolutely tremendous restoration but, why choose such a inappropriate colour scheme? I would far rather have seen it restored in the beautiful , and dignified, classic white. Only my opinion it’s still a work of art, albeit modern.

      Just another example that you can't buy taste with money.

    This project looks well done but if the color palate was not a factory choice, it was a huge waste of time and money....

    Mercedes Benz has a very long history of cars. All the SUVs the E class & GLE, GLA, B250,C300, all the 4matic AMG.

    A wonderful car, iconic and timeless. But that green.......is something that would appeal on a bubbletop Chevy in LA, but not on this classic. Against the orange-hued zebrano wood it is garish. Otherwise a skilled restoration at eye-watering cost no doubt.

    not to under estimate your work, but when money is not a problem, then every thing is possible; i have a 1965 fintail w111 and i know how expensive the parts would add to. also please use the proper thumbnails other wise this would be misleading.

    Nice restoration, meticulously performed but feel the ball was dropped with the color. Would rather have seen it in a factory color of the period.

    Cost must be 1000x the price of the original? Normal people just cannot do this.

    Without question a very professional restoration, especially the body work. But all the not original things like polished or gold painted engine parts, interior modifications and terrible, not original color ruin the whole thing to me. Now it's not an authentic restoration any more after all this work... I didn't finish the whole video because I don't wanna see this beautifully started restoration going into some "pimp my ride" custom car. What I saw was already enough. Why waste such a classic W111 for that and not take something else as the base? Would even be cheaper. Sorry, I just don't understand that. In Germany this would not even been considered a classic car anymore after all these mods. What a waste imho... Sorry

    Really nice work, meticulously performed but the colour choice is tremendously poor to say the least (i.e. horrendous), elegance vanished after that and you have really derogated all your excellent work. IMHO you should have picked a paint scheme for the original factory paint colour catalogue since it is a CLASSIC car.
