This is How You Showcase a Classic Mercedes 280
Mercedes 280/8
If you’re looking for beautifully visual automotive content, Petrolicious has fast become one of the best places to visit. Their videos are breathtakingly gorgeous and the machinery they film is equally stunning.
Continuing with that trend, the latest video to come out of Petrolicious’ brilliant collective minds, shown below, showcases one of the most gorgeously restored 280s I’ve ever seen: Bernhard Bredehorn’s 1972 Mercedes 280/8.
This film perfectly captures the deep love one feels as the owner of a classic Mercedes-Benz. It’s not only that unnerving sense of purpose to rebuild a classic Merc, but also the drive it takes to maintain every minute detail of the car.
What’s particularly crazy is the terrible shape this car was in, and how determined Bredehorn was to bring this classic back to life with nothing but the tools in his shed.
The short film plays out like a beautiful history lesson, as Bredehorn delves into the provenance of the car, and why it’s one of a kind. Definitely one of the best films Petrolicious has done.
