RUclips recommended your video to me (first time I have watched your channel) and it was such a beautiful experience from start to finish. The love you both have between father and son, and it's very clear to see that your workforce are a 'family' as well. The MB 450SEL is one of my most favourite cars, I'm not sure if it is the 6.9 version, as that is my ultimate dream car to own some day :) When I get mine, and I need it restoring, I'll be giving you guys a call :) PS - fantastic work by the videographer and the choice of music was perfect as well. I give you all 15 out of 10!!!
Restorations to this level are actually much more work than the original car production where parts are picked & fitted. Restorations require all the parts removed, cleaned, repaired, repainted, reupholstered, rewired, replaced then refitted. It’s a labour of love.
Dear Alcala friends, as a 70+ years old German who now lives in the USA this video makes me happy & proud as I drove this car around in 1970's Berlin, Germany and all over Europe as a young entrepreneur. I'm very impressed with your crews knowledge & dedication ... and adding to it Manel's confidence and explanations are excellent. You are beautifully organized and the video is very well done. Thank you all and good luck for the future.
Que pasada de restauración y ver como evoluciona el proyecto. El mimo por el detalle y la calidad de trabajo de todo el equipo. Felicitaros también por la grabación y producción del video, nos hace ver el proceso tan al detalle, casi parece uno estar allí con vosotros echando un cable 😅. Saludos cordiales 👏
I can understand you ^^ i'm from 1977 , growin in Algiers (Algeria) now i'm in Belgium , that mercedes was the must the best luxury car at that time better than the heavy rolls royce ! PS : I love Germany , i worked all over that country for severals years , essen achen coln berlin dusseldorf bayern munich etc lol , i dont speak German but in Germany it's very easy to talk in english ^^ Grettings from Belgium (Mons) :)
Comment exactly stated the overall feeling after seeing this excelence in both craftsmanship for the detailed restoration and the filming of it 🙏🎉@@franciscojaviervaldeonpaez9864
If I won the lottery, I would not go on a crazy holiday, would not buy fancy clothes or gadgets, or buy an obscene mansion. I would buy a classic car (most likely a Mercedes Benz R129 SL600) and send it Alcala Technology to lovingly restore no expense spared. That was absolutely stunning to watch, you’ve essential made that car like “new”. You are preserving history. Well done!
I think the best part was the enormous hug from your dad at the end. It’s easy to tell how much he loves you and how proud he is of you. Ohh, and the car came out just perfect. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺
We really love our job, and we give all our passion to them. For customers the best is the transparency of our work and processes. Thanks for watching!
Manel, da gusto ver talleres españoles trabajando tan bien en proyectos de coches clásicos. Genial la idea de crear un canal para mostrar a gente de habla inglesa lo bien que hacemos las cosas aquí, en España. ¡Enhorabuena!
It’s an absolute pleasure watching such talented and dedicated people complete this project. Well done to the owner or whoever was responsible for gathering such people together. The detail and lack of compromise is rare to see.
I wish my Volvo 780 Bertone could look like this. There are things that are best left to the professionals like the leather job and paint job. I could restore the engine to factory spec again and all the mechanical parts, paint the undercoating, and fix the rust, but the paint and leather is very difficult. What an amazing job.
Thank you Arthur! Do not hesitate to send us an email to technology@alcala.cat with your project and we will be in touch with you the soonest possible.
I have one of those 1988 780 Bertone and it is a wonderful car Actually it is being restored right now in Kuwait and should be ready in a month or so. Parts for it are extremely rare and cost an arm and a leg. Can't wait to drive it around once it is finished

It has a Macau's Portuguese era taxi permit plate with only one "M", so it was a taxi/hotel car service, ohh and the Alfa....lovely and Portuguese tags too. Awesome video, great work.
I love watching restoring/resurrecting videos of cars and this is the only one yet which i have not jumped or forwarded even once ( enjoyed every moment of 36 minutes). 👍
👍sehr umfangreiche Restauratorin. Eines der letzten schönen echten Mercedes Modelle. Ich besitze aus der Riehe W116 den kleinsten (S280 1979) mit 74.000km und den dicksten (450 SEL 6.9 1977) mit 196.000km.
I remember seeing a 350SE in the shpwroom for the 1st time as a young boy. It was metallic bronze and the price was $15000. I wished I could buy it for my father who had a much older Benz at the time. Both the restoration and the video was excellent. It was only that good because you and the your team are obviously very proud your work.Your father is so proud of you❤. May this channel inspire other to follow what they are passionate about. I wish you all the best.
At last on RUclips, people who really know what they are doing, instead of jumped up car washers claiming their expensive shampoo and polish is a ‘restoration’!
For your knowledge, sandblasting is removing/deforming the surface of the part that you are restoring, and giving a really ugly shape to the metal. Of course, for those who want to earn money for it and make it quick, paint on tom and maybe noone will know the status of it, is correct. NOT for us. Thank you 🤝🏼
@@alcalatechnology I was not talking about doors and bonnets, there it's surely not the right procedure. But for suspension parts or for example the brake disc back covers that doesn't really matter. And there, if you're just brushing them, you still have small rust nests in small cavities which are not being removed and lead to new rust pretty soon. From my experience...
I think what struck me the most is that although it's an old car (maybe 1979,1980?), the cleanliness of your workshop - not just clean, GLEAMING - and the quiet, efficient, experienced, technicians with all the right tools and equipment and a lot of know how - plus quite evidently a SUPER well organised plan/process - not to mention the movie level quality of videography and editing - gave the whole thing an almost surreal feel of a team of surgeons operating on a magnificent old beast on the edge of extinction. And that bit by bit, his life signs stabilise until eventually he emerges not just with a new heart and new knees, but also a nose job, tummy tuck, skin peel, hair transplant, eye lift and teeth polished - as well as a full day at the spa being oiled, massaged and moisturised, nose hairs and eyebrows tidied, mani/pedi, shaved (in places where you both can - and can't - see!) - and sent out into the world with a clean bill of health and a haircut, new suit, shoes, spectacles and watch😂❤
@@sprezzatura8755 I always feel like Salieri compared to Mozart - cursed with knowing what to do but not the means to implement it🤗 Anyway, anyone with the art of looking "put together" - but not too tidily, as if effortlessly - in your handle might seem not to need it! And one wonders who the other 8754 people with that quality are - there may not even be that many on the planet!🇮🇹😎
Not only is your renovation/rehabilitation/restoration methodology and process outcome literally a work of art, but so is your visual representation of the meticulous E2E process…👏
Dear Alcala friends, I from Jakarta, Indonesia..fabulous job guys...hopefully someday I can fly to reach your outstanding workshop & buy one of your masterpiece work project...
Truly fantastic. The entire restoration blew me away, but the way you were able to recreate the classic Mercedes upholstery was truly amazing. You have a got a new subscriber and I will be looking forward to more. Cheers!
I’m amazed by your ability to restore this car to a level that equals or arguably surpasses how the car was when it rolled off the assembly line. Many of the w116 chassis parts are no longer available, so you are actually reproducing the quality and craftsmanship that would otherwise get lost to time. Great video!
Wow wow wowwwwww Pure amazing work and hats off to you guys This car received new lease of life because of your hard work so you should be very proud of yourself selves
I thought about the newer cars, and then I thought about my W210 with 428k km on it - I would love to do a restoration on it similar to this. Very very interesting and satisfying to watch. They do not make these cars like that any more. W124 and W126 were the last of this era. W116 is an extra treat to see in this condition - and of all places, coming from and going back to Macau. Thank you for this presentation.
I’m telling you, fantastic job. I had a 75 (I think) 250c back in the mid 80’s when I was in Germany. I loved that car even though it was a little tough. To see you bring this back is just awesome. Great job!
Wonderful video of this restoration. That 450 SEL was (is) such a high quality car. I find it quite sad that even Daimler Benz has chosen to back away from producing the best automobiles possible. Great to see the Alcala team performing such impressive work on this icon of Mercedes engineering. Regards from Los Angeles.
Brilliant. Love to see treasure cars like these restored to their past and present glory. You all kept it as original as you could as well, good job all over. Can't imagine what this would cost in real life😅but watching dedicated professionals like you is always a bonus
You guys are the ultimate car restorers. You really know your stuff and you do it right. How much does such a restoration cost and how long does it take?
Magnificent job. Magnificent model of Mercedes-Benz. Your mechanics and technicians should work for NASA! I think that's the most impressive restoration/renewal I have ever seen. Thanks...
What can one say? I was blown away by this Magnificent transformation! Awesome workmanship, your guys are truly an amazing asset to this craft!!! If only there were more of you restoring all the wonderful cars that are rusting away. I’m looking forward to the next one. Thank You
An incredible and stunning restoration of such a great car. And this video is so great to watch - you guys are wonderful! I had one when I was in my late 20's a dark walnut brown 1980 450SEL. Seeing this restoration reminds me of how the 450SEL was and is such a truly remarkable car!!
My uncle used to let me drive his 450 SEL 6.9 Mercedes when it was almost brand new back in the 70s. That one was a right hand drive also. Watching this brought back so many memories for me. I used to compare putting your foot down in this car to take off in a jet airliner! What you can achieve is truly amazing and the passion you do it with is truly a credit to you, your father and your team.
Thankyou for replying. I might add that the fastest my uncle and I drove in his car was 280kph, before our nerves gave out. Not because of the car - it was rock steady, and I'm sure able to get to at least 300kph. The thing is this was in central Australia, on narrow roads with kangaroos and cattle able to wander onto the road. It's amazing how much more narrow a road looks at 280kph! Still, at least we were not in danger of getting a speeding ticket in this part of Australia, as there was NO speed limit on outback roads in those days! Just like your fancy autopistas, hey? I'd love to come to Spain one day and meet great people like you guys. Cheers from Australia.
Great video, brilliant work, I especially loved the interior getting done top work. Only one mistake guys, you should have videoed the first start up after the engine rebuild. Anyway hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘️🇪🇸❤
Every project has a different cost, as the car status can vary, and the amount of parts to be changed also, if you want to have a budget for any project, send us an email with the details of the car and some pictures and we will be glad to do it. "Technology@alcala.cat". Thanks for watching us!
You're doing amazing job. It would be cool to see extra acoustic/noise treatment to your projects (cabin, roof, doors, floor..) and sound (multimedia) system upgrades 👍
You guys are really incredible and super professionals in your work, i have never seen such a restoration ever! And genuineness! I will be searching for childhood German Mercedes i desired to drive & will contact you for your services too. Thanks again.
This is incredible ! Never really been a Mercedes fan but this car i can appreciate, I'd own this in a heartbeat. The workmanship is unlike anything I've seen before, truly stunning. The colour exterior/interior combination is perfect. Would have loved to have seen a small video of the owner receiving it and his reaction. I think I'd cry if it was me lol. Well done on a fantastic restoration.

For your knowledge, sandblasting is removing/deforming the surface of the part that you are restoring, and giving a really ugly shape to the metal.
Of course, for those who want to earn money for it and make it quick, paint on tom and maybe noone will know the status of it, is correct. NOT for us.

Honestly the best restoration video of a classic car ever. You guys nailed it. Fantastic!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
What can one say? I was blown away by this Magnificent transformation! Awesome workmanship, your guys are truly an amazing asset to this craft!!! If only there were more of you restoring all the wonderful cars that are rusting away. I’m looking forward to the next one. Thank You
This is exactly what loving cars really means.
Yes! 🙏🏻
Please come restore my Alfa Romeo! I love the 450s series of that Era ! Can't wait for the Alfa! Beautiful work, amazing!
This car is well worth the effort to do well.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
An incredible and stunning restoration of such a great car. And this video is so great to watch - you guys are wonderful! I had one when I was in my late 20's a dark walnut brown 1980 450SEL. Seeing this restoration reminds me of how the 450SEL was and is such a truly remarkable car!!
Thank you! 🙏
My uncle used to let me drive his 450 SEL 6.9 Mercedes when it was almost brand new back in the 70s. That one was a right hand drive also. Watching this brought back so many memories for me. I used to compare putting your foot down in this car to take off in a jet airliner! What you can achieve is truly amazing and the passion you do it with is truly a credit to you, your father and your team.
Thank you very much for your words and watching us! Best regards from Spain!
Thankyou for replying. I might add that the fastest my uncle and I drove in his car was 280kph, before our nerves gave out. Not because of the car - it was rock steady, and I'm sure able to get to at least 300kph. The thing is this was in central Australia, on narrow roads with kangaroos and cattle able to wander onto the road. It's amazing how much more narrow a road looks at 280kph! Still, at least we were not in danger of getting a speeding ticket in this part of Australia, as there was NO speed limit on outback roads in those days! Just like your fancy autopistas, hey? I'd love to come to Spain one day and meet great people like you guys. Cheers from Australia.
@michaelscheffler6073 of course! You are very welcome whenever you want!
Absolutely insanely good!!! Love your work!
Wow! Very cool 😎. I want more
Haha! More is yet to come with other cars!
Great video, brilliant work, I especially loved the interior getting done top work. Only one mistake guys, you should have videoed the first start up after the engine rebuild. Anyway hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 ☘️🇪🇸❤

Macchina perfetta,lavoro impressionante.cosi si restaura una macchina,siete i migliori !!
Gracie mile! 🙏🏻👍🏻
Nice work. How much did this restoration? To this car please
Every project has a different cost, as the car status can vary, and the amount of parts to be changed also, if you want to have a budget for any project, send us an email with the details of the car and some pictures and we will be glad to do it. "Technology@alcala.cat". Thanks for watching us!
Awesome job!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
You're doing amazing job. It would be cool to see extra acoustic/noise treatment to your projects (cabin, roof, doors, floor..) and sound (multimedia) system upgrades 👍
You guys are really incredible and super professionals in your work, i have never seen such a restoration ever! And genuineness! I will be searching for childhood German Mercedes i desired to drive & will contact you for your services too. Thanks again.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
This is incredible ! Never really been a Mercedes fan but this car i can appreciate, I'd own this in a heartbeat. The workmanship is unlike anything I've seen before, truly stunning.
The colour exterior/interior combination is perfect.
Would have loved to have seen a small video of the owner receiving it and his reaction. I think I'd cry if it was me lol.
Well done on a fantastic restoration.
You have accomplished the near impossible. I don't think even the Merz factory could do this.
Keep the dreams alive! Bravo!
