Each BRABUS Classic 6 star classic car has been rebuilt to exactly the same specification as it was once delivered as a new vehicle from Mercedes-Benz. This not only affects exterior color and upholstery, but also the predicate "Matching Numbers", which means that exactly the engine with the production number is also installed in the vehicle that was once entered on the data card during the production of this vehicle.

At the headquarters of the BRABUS Group in Bottrop, the classic car department will be exhibiting at the BRABUS 4 plant, which has just been rebuilt.

"In the exhibition area of this modern manufactory, we offer the lovers of valuable classic cars a wide range of vehicles of outstanding automotive jewels with BRABUS Classic 6 star restoration, which are immediately available. In addition, our discerning clientele can experience live how precisely and lovingly our specialists work on every car. "The starting point for the rebirth of a Mercedes classic car in the context of a BRABUS Classic 6 star restoration is always the dismantling of the basic car to the last screw.
All parts are sighted and cataloged, unusable components sorted out, and elements that are suitable for reprocessing, such as chrome parts that are newly galvanized, put into new condition by the best available specialists. The buyer of a classic car restored by BRABUS Classic can be absolutely sure that every detail is lovingly treated. Depending on the vehicle, between 1 500 and 6 000 working hours are invested. The bodyshell is completely chemically stripped and de-rusted, put into new condition by experienced master metalworkers and provided with a catalytic dip primer.
Comprehensive corrosion protection with state-of-the-art paint protection technologies is just as much a part of the portfolio as a perfect finish in the original color. Parallel to the body work, the engine is completely disassembled and measured in the BRABUS high-tech engine construction. Rebuilding involves grinding and honing the cylinders as well as overhauling the cylinder head and crank mechanism. The technicians also carefully restore the power transmission with gearbox, cardan shaft and differential. Special Classic lubricants from technology partner Motul guarantee maximum operational reliability for daily driving. The BRABUS Classic specialists also make no compromises when it comes to chassis and brakes: They replace all components with new parts and thus offer optimum active safety.
The in-house saddlery creates absolutely true to original interiors. Only leather, fabrics and carpets are used in exactly the same color and quality as originally ex works. Of course, all BRABUS Classic interiors are down to the last detail absolutely true to detail and perfectly finished. Equally high-quality are the hoods for the open Mercedes-Benz models, which are also produced in all classic colors. The BRABUS carpenters are specialized in reconditioning all wooden parts in the cockpit as new or in the same kind of wood completely new. After completion of the work in the various departments, the Mercedes classic in the BRABUS Classic Manufactory is rebuilt with the utmost precision.
Of course, not only all mechanical wear parts, but also all gaskets and the on-board electrical system are completely renewed. Before delivery to the customer, depending on the destination, in the form of a VIP transport with a closed van or by air freight, each vehicle undergoes an in-depth functional, safety and quality inspection. BRABUS underscores the perfect execution of all work with a guarantee that is unique in the entire classic car industry: The Mercedes-Benz classic cars, which have been completely restored, will be sold for two years without mileage limitation with the exemplary BRABUS Classic Warranty. In addition, every BRABUS Classic 6 star classic car buyer receives a lavishly produced photo book on his own vehicle.
Here not only the different restoration steps are documented in detail. The content includes after completion of the work and a complex photo production of the finished piece of jewelry in the in-house BRABUS Studio. The quality of the work is also recognized by the manufacturer: BRABUS Classic is an official Mercedes-Benz ClassicPartner. The quality of the new Mercedes-Benz classics built in Bottrop is also repeatedly honored by leading vintage car trade fairs and associations. For example, the vehicles that have been completely restored by BRABUS Classic have already received numerous awards at prestigious Concours d'Elégance competitions. These include "Best of Show" awards from SIHA or the Emirates Classic Festival Dubai. Because of its outstanding original fidelity and the impeccable workmanship, a BRABUS Classic 6 star Mercedes 600 Pullman was awarded at the Concours d'Elégance of the organizer SIHA as the best saloon of the show at the TECHNO-CLASSICA 2017.
After completion of the restoration, the leading German classic car expert organization Classic Data rates every Mercedes classic car newly built by BRABUS Classic. Without exception, each of these 6 star vehicles received the status note 1 with the addition "new car character". The judgment of the Classic Data experts confirms the outstanding quality of the BRABUS Classic 6 star restoration, here with the example of a Mercedes 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet: "At the time of my inspection the vehicle was in a restored condition, which corresponds to a mint condition. All assemblies have been restored to perfection, so that traces of wear are not recognizable. Old parts, which could not be put in new condition by restoration measures, were replaced by new parts.
The powertrain has been overhauled and corresponds to the new condition. The body is in optically perfect condition. The gap dimensions correspond to the new condition or are better than new. Finally, it is noted that this vehicle was restored so perfectly in a familiar BRABUS style that the original condition was surpassed. This is recognizable by the loving details such as the reproduction of the interior, the perfect gap dimensions, etc., which were not complied with in the 70er years in the context of mass production to this extent.
The purchase price reflects the type and scope of the restoration as well as the overall condition. "Full Service by BRABUS Classic does not end with the purchase or the restoration: The offer covers the entire range from oil change over professional inspections to complete reprocessing. The motto for the proud owner is: get in, start and experience pure driving pleasure! The currently available BRABUS Classic vehicle range will be presented on the Internet at www.brabus.com/cars4sale/classic and updated constantly.
