Specialist restoration and maintenance workshop for classic Mercedes
Bracq Heritage is a workshop dedicated to classic Mercedes. We maintain and restore exceptional Mercedes vehicles with the utmost respect for their authenticity. Founded by Boris Bracq, son of Paul Bracq, who was head of Mercedes design from 1957 to 1967, the workshop brings together specialized departments in mechanics, bodywork, and upholstery.
"Signature" restoration
Restoring a classic Mercedes at Bracq Heritage is a work of precision and passion. From mechanical components to bodywork and upholstery, every detail is carefully handled so the vehicle can regain its original beauty while being enhanced to endure and to be admired.
Original-spec maintenance
Maintaining a classic Mercedes requires precision and a deep understanding of its original specifications. Thanks to our period documentation, period-correct tools, and the expertise of our workshop, each vehicle receives meticulous care that ensures its reliability and longevity.

BOUTIQUE
The Bracq Heritage style: a continuous pursuit of craftsmanship, tradition, and elegance.
The Bracq Heritage shop was born from a simple desire: to share our world and our expertise with you.
Each creation reflects the expertise of our upholsterer, a passionate artisan who restores the interiors of classic Mercedes with exceptional care, heir to a tradition of exquisite leather craftsmanship.
We wanted this boutique to be an extension of our workshop — a place where enthusiasts, whether dreaming of owning a classic Mercedes or already fortunate enough to be a proud owner, can take home a fragment of our art.
Each leather piece is crafted from the same hides and shades as those used in classic Mercedes, preserving their authenticity.
Our boutique embodies the excellence of craftsmanship, the precision of every gesture, and the beauty of the materials, so that even from a distance, you can experience the unique world of Bracq Heritage.
