Ex-Brunei Mercedes-Benz SL60 R129 Seats Retrim

Mercedes-Benz SL60 Seats Retrim



A cool backstory to this phenomenal example of an R129. This vehicle was part of probably the most ambiguous car collection in the world, belonging to none other than the Sultan of Brunei Collection. Rumoured to be 1 of 2 SL60s to have been sold from the collection, this immaculate vehicle is really something else. As Mercedes-Benz specialists, we've seen our fair share of R129s and this one really is one of the best examples we have had the pleasure of working on.


So, the reason we had the SL60 at d:class was because both of the front seats required a retrim. The interior is in great condition, with only mild signs of use. However, the front seats were not in the best of condition with shiny leather from use, tears in the drivers bolster, and rips in the perforated leather.

We selected Mercedes-Benz grey grained leather with matching grained perforated leather for the seat centres. This colour is to OEM Mercedes-Benz specification. For the thread, we selected the best match to the new leather from our own wide range of Amann Serafil threads, which are available now on our website dclassautoshop.co.uk

This AC Cobra Mk IV came to d:class as part of a collaborative restoration with our good friends, Redline Engineering UK. The customer wanted the car completely refreshed with a new body colour, mechanical overhaul, new exhaust, wheels, a full interior retrim, and more. We were tasked with retrimming the vehicle but ensuring to keep it traditional. So no new radios, switches, or any other modern upgrades to distract you from this beautiful car.
