No. I have an old Mercedes and the garage is known for doing good and reasonable work on vintage automobiles and this was there getting a brake overhaul and a radiator flush . This car is hand built and the engine is a truck model Ford flathead with 85 hp mated to a semi automatic trans, like the old Chrysler planetary gear ones .
Next to this car was a 1990s turbo Bentley getting new head gaskets on both banks. On many cars that is a one day job, it certainly is on my straight six Mercedes, but on the V8 Bentley, it takes 80-100 hours.
