Restoring a 1987 Mercedes 300SE

[wax lyrical]

Now my old Dad loves his Merc 300SE that he's had from new (130k miles on the clock at the mo) and full SH (MB until 4 years ago)!

Does anyone know of an outfit in West/ North London who can rejuvenate it a bit? Needs new stuffing in the driver's seat (brown velour), climate control no longer working, few dents and paint bubbling/ imperfections, etc.

All advice appreciated!

Is this paint bubbling, or rust underneath the paint? Because they're two very different things, you could start digging and find terminal rot.

My Dads E24 had 'paint bubbling' on the wings and we ended up having to replace both because they were that rotten.

Just food for thought on how much it could end up costing.

Sounds like you need a body shop, an interior specialist and a AC mechanic, shouldn't be too difficult, but as per the post above, whats your budget?
