The 190E Koenig Special was supposed to have a 3.6L Brabus motor that came from Abu Dhabi, but unfortunately when it arrived to the US, the engine was seized. We just got it back to the Patina Collective and are planning on rebuilding and restoring this legendary M103 motor for a later project. Finally got a chance to take the Gen II Koenig Specials on the first drive and it is absolutely amazing.... sounds incredible and plenty of power! We also took delivery of a SL600 AMG 6.0L from Canada - pretty beat up, but deserves to be saved. We also shipped out the 1000 SEC Carat Duchatelet 6.0 widebody to Pierre for a full restoration. Hope to have that car back on the road in the near future! Lastly we filmed a Brabus 7.3S video with our two Brabus w140s, so stay tuned!

From the famous AMG Hammer to the Koenig Specials 560 SEC, The Patina Collective is home to the world's most unique and influential Mercedes-Benz. We are not car guys though. We are culture guys. We appreciate these cars for their cultural relevance and the eras of Miami Vice and 80s opulence that they symbolize. The rarest tuner Mercedes from SGS Styling Garage, ABC Exclusive, Koenig Specials, RennTech, Brabus, pre-merger AMG, Gemballa, Maybach, and more, all lie within our Mercedes collection in Boca Raton, Florida. Benz culture runs deep in our blood and we aim to share with you all our passion, knowledge, and dedication to keeping these widebody cars alive. This is more than a car collection for us - more than a vintage Mercedes collection - it is a preservation of global cultural history!
