Mercedes Benz Roadster with new glossy finish

Sleek and elegant, a dream in black with brilliant red leather seats. This is the look Belgian classic car aficionado Andries Meuzelaar’s 300 SL Roadster will be sporting when it returns as king of the road in the near future. At the moment, the Mercedes Benz is still hidden away in Stuttgart, where the legendary model is getting a makeover. Even in its current state, however, with its paintwork sanded off, inner workings removed and body perched up on blocks, the supple curved body provides a glimpse of the vehicle’s grace and elegance. “It’s a real gem, a milestone in automotive history,” says Meuzelaar. It’s no wonder, then, that his standards for restoring the roadster are extremely high. “I trust Glasurit. My experience with Glasurit paints in the past has been excellent, and they are my obvious choice this time around, too.”
