At d:class we love rare and special vehicles and are fortunate enough to work with some of the world's most exclusive vehicles. This car is a prime example of this being only 1 of 40 RHD Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG's ever made, and only 1 of 6 as a convertible. Originally it was planned to have 80 produced, but this was drastically reduced to just 6. From our research, this may be the only example in black.

The Job; So this CLK DTM AMG came to d:class for a few things. Firstly, The front seats and rear seat pads needed a retrim as the customer desired a colour change from the OEM red leather centres, to a more sophisticated grey Alcantara. The leather was also replaced for a like-for-like grey nappa leather with grey stitching.


Next up was the soft top hood, This is no longer a service we offer, but we honoured it for this vehicle as it is going to MB World, to be put on display for the public to admire. This was just a simple black OEM hood replacement as the previous one had some signs of wear.


The OEM wheel was black nappa leather with red stitching, but keeping with the more mature look this CLK DTM AMG now showcases, this was replaced with black Alcantara and black stitching. We think it really improves the interior, and in some way makes it feel more race-inspired.


Final touch was a brand new set of floor mats, featuring the AMG logo in a silver stitch to match the OEM ones which had become very worn through years of use. Matching OEM carpet was used so these fit right in, as they should.

This AC Cobra is another full interior retrim completed as part of a vehicle restoration collaboration with Redline Engineering . This is the second project we have recently carried out in partnership with Neil and his team, and the specification for this one is truly something special. The customer requested a tan Connolly leather, and after working closely with both them and Neil from Redline, we settled on Parkside Caramel nappa leather. It was an incredible choice, the super smooth finish and rich colour work perfectly with the Guardsman Blue metallic paint. We then needed a carpet that complemented the leather equally well, so a biscuit-coloured carpet from Boyriven was selected. New dials and gauges were installed, alongside new seat harnesses.

This Porsche 991 911 Carrera 4S belongs to another customer who has recently seen the influx of Porsches across our socials and blog. They have also requested the very sought-after houndstooth seat centre retrim. They have selected a black and red houndstooth for their seat centres and door card centres to be retrimmed in. A great choice, that also matches the black of the car and the red of the seat belts and calipers. Whilst we had the car, our customer also opted for a steering wheel retrim. Nothing crazy for this one, just a like-for-like OEM retrim to the same spec. Black nappa leather with black stitching and black racing band.
