Supercar Blondie’s Alex Hirschi traveled to Hungary to drive an iconic Mercedes that’s been restored into a masterpiece.

The car was restored by Motor Classic, a firm that takes old, decrepit Mercedes cars and turn them into vintage classics worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The car in question is a Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5, a rare gem that often flies under the radar.

Not that long ago, this car was dying, rusting away and falling apart.

Now it is a $500,000 classic.

Check it out in the video above.
