OUR STORY
How It Started
This project was born from our passion for cars and photography. Many of the first projects we worked on together featured classic cars - often a Mercedes - as a common thread. So when the opportunity arose to get our own 450 SL, there was no question: we had to have it.
Mechanically, the car wasn't in great shape, but its looks completely won us over. With the help of a tow truck, we brought it home, and after a few months in the workshop, it was finally road-ready.
Now, a few years later, we're excited to share it with others and let you experience the same joy and enthusiasm it brings us. Whether it’s for a photo shoot, a sunset cruise, or a memory that lasts a lifetime... The Iconic SL is ready for you.
