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.
