As a bonus film this week, we've ventured into the facilities of our friends at Hemmels International, where Mercedes-Benz Pagodas and Gullwings are reborn and rebuilt by renown craftsmen. Joseph Sullivan, a 3rd generation mechanic and Technical Director, has had a vision for perfecting Pagodas from the start and created an incredibly rigorous process for stripping, sourcing and rebuilding every single component of a car. As a customer the experience is just like walking into the Mercedes factory in '60s and ordering Pagoda, Gullwing or 190SL to your preferred specification - color, interior materials, performance, you name it. Better-than-new? Yes. Stunning? Absolutely.
