Alex Hirschi, AKA Supercar Blondie, recently traveled to Hungary to meet the team that turned a rusted barn find into a $400,000 Mercedes-Benz classic.

These were once some of the finest cars you could find on the road before they were left to gather dust. And thankfully, this group of guys takes abandoned barn finds and restores them into priceless classics.

When it was first discovered, this W111 280 SE was in ruins, and it’s now worth $400,000.
