4th May 2022: Everrati Automotive Limited (Everrati) and Hilton & Moss together announce a new strategic partnership, combining their respective expertise in EV conversion and classic car restoration to produce the Mercedes-Benz W113 SL ‘Pagoda’ model redefined by Everrati. The Hilton & Moss team – based at a 125,000 sq/ft site in Bishop’s Stortford – has worked with Mercedes-Benz models for more than 40 years, entrusted with the restoration of priceless 300SL Gullwings, alongside its other work with icons from Jaguar, Aston Martin and more.
With headquarters at a specialist facility in Oxfordshire, UK, Everrati is a leading technology company. It’s redefining some of the most iconic cars in the automotive industry by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge, original OEM-standard electric powertrains. Everrati’s customers unite by a common desire to own and drive beautiful icons sustainably in a low-carbon world.
Producing the Mercedes-Benz W113
The Mercedes-Benz W113 SL ‘Pagoda’ model becomes the latest model to benefit from technology. That’s from the best Tier 1 automotive suppliers and the company’s sector-leading IP. Moreover, Everrati focuses on immersive and engaging driver experiences. The company works meticulously to respectfully preserve the original character and ‘feel’ of the iconic vehicles. Everrati’s Mercedes-Benz W113 SL ‘Pagoda’ remains true to this ethos, offering levels of performance comparable to the original model.
Boasting over 100 years of combined experience, the specialist team at Hilton & Moss enhances the electrified driving experience with a loving restoration of each vehicle from the ground up. Stripped down to a bare chassis, repaired and sealed for decades of future use. Then, meticulously built up again using original, refreshed parts where possible. Therefore, the end result is a car with more perfect finishes. Moreover, Hilton & Moss restorations have won awards at some of the UK’s finest Concours d’elegance events, including Salon Privé and the Warren Concours.
With a paint shop, engine shop, trim shop, machine shop, and coachworks on-site, Hilton & Moss carries out 95% of its restoration work entirely in-house, ensuring the quality of the work completed. Moreover, having specialized in the restoration and sales of Mercedes-Benz models for forty years, Hilton & Moss’ bodywork services are fully manufacturer-approved, while the business has custom-prepared examples of the 190 SL for clients including model David Gandy and ex-Formula 1 racing driver Max Chilton.
