During the fourteen months restoration of the black Mercedes Benz 190SL, Stanley Marthin had successfully minimized the cost by restoring most parts down to its details instead of replacing them with a new one. As an example, the Mercedes Benz word and logo were only restored in their original, and thus helped reduce the cost by almost 300 million in Indonesian rupiah altogether. Through a long process of engine, interior, bodyworks and chasis restoration, the vehicle has been restored fully to its peak condition, both visually and technically.Marthin admitted that it was a tough process to restore the car, as it carried a rich classical value with its signature curvy countour on the exterior. However, his commitment and high level of craftmanship brought the car back to its fullest condition with fresh black paints, beautifully crafted brown leather seats and interior, as well as a restored full power engine.
