Some returning visitors might remember the “old” JaimeKop.com. These are a few of the original pages I moved into the new site.
The old site is still available here, but keep in mind some of the links might not work correctly.
1967 Mercedes Benz 250S – This was my second W108. I still miss it.
1979 Mercedes Benz 300D – Grover Mudd – A silly page about a wonderful beat up old W123.
1967 Mercedes Benz 250S – My first W108. I did a tremendous amount of work on this car and learned a lot in the process.
W108 Wood Refinishing – A collection of a few pages covering work a did years ago to restore the wood in an early W108.
Hey Jaime,
Your R&R pictures and description on the dash wood helped me alot
on my 1972 280 se 4.5….THANKS!!!!!!
I actually did a practice run on a 72 250 parts car that I have and now I have two cars worth of wood to refinish…….use one and sell the other to support my Benz hobby
What color paint did you squirt on your 250? It is beautiful!!
I think i will do that on mine. It should go well with the factory blue interior I would guess.
Thanks Again,

Jaime,
Thanks for your great website. Right now I am about a year and half into a ’73 280 SE 4.5, new paint and interior and she did run great until saturday. I changed the fuel pump when I first got her, the other day however I did run out of gas due to a sticky fuel gauge, I knew that car didn’t get 30mpg. Hopefully its something simple as I put gas in it that day and drove it another 150 miles, then yesterday it died around the corner from my house leaving to run a few errands. Oh well, I really appreciate your time in taking helpful photographs on the wood refinishing, i hope to do mine someday. Also, the w116, I’ve often wondered about those, I’m in sales and would love a vintage daily driver that had better mpg.
Have a good day. Mario, Fort Worth, Texas
