Title: Cardock Classics - Ireland
Post by: mdsalemi on August 21, 2020, 19:25:12
My new copy of Mercedes Enthusiast came today, and in it I saw a new ad for a firm I've never heard of: Cardock Classics of County Kildare (Dublin) Ireland.

http://www.cardockclassics.com/about-us/

Just an FYI...

...we do have a few members in the auld sod as they say, so what's the take on these folks? Anyone with a Cardock-restored Pagoda?

Sounds like one for Ben C but he’s not signed in since Feb.

Hello chaps, I do lurk here but thanks to James for the PM.

I.dont have any association with CC but I know the owner and several of the guys working there and have been to their premises a few times.

I can promise you their workmanship is of the very highest order and they know these cars and their original features very well indeed. They are good to deal with.

They have restored several W109,111,112 cars many W100's too and I have seen their process and end results which were beyond criticism.

It's great to see an Irish company build itself up to such a high level.

Good luck to all and stay safe !

Great video on their site. It's made me think that perhaps I should have something similar.
Only a really picky person would notice the lack of an installed rope seal in the sump being assembled!  ;D
