The Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster is an ultra-rare, open-top variant of the already exclusive CLK GTR, built to showcase the pinnacle of Mercedes-AMG’s racing technology in a street-legal form. Only six roadsters were ever produced, making it one of the rarest production cars in the world. Like the coupe, it was powered by a 6.9 litre naturally aspirated V12, generating around 604 horsepower and capable of reaching 0 to 60mph in about 3.8 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 200 mph.


Unique features include a carbon fibre monocoque chassis, a fully exposed cockpit with no roof mechanism, and ultra-luxurious interior. Built strictly for collectors and enthusiasts, the CLK GTR Roadster cemented its place in automotive history not only through performance but by being a bold statement of 1990s GT1 engineering, with direct lineage to Mercedes’ FIA GT Championship dominance.

Prior to the retrim, this vehicle had a lovely purple leather interior. We are unsure of the reason why the customer wanted to retrim the interior, but the new green leather is a really nice upgrade. The Mercedes-Benz green tartan is also a very cool touch, paying homage to Mercedes-Benz's racing history. We retrimmed the seats, head rests, dashboard, steering wheel, door cards, centre console, carpets, and more. We even created a custom vehicle cover/tonneau as the customer wished to take their car to a car show in Italy. As the CLK GTR Roadsters had no hood/soft top installed, we had to create a completely bespoke cover and mounting setup in order to protect the vehicles interior from any rain.

AC Cobra MK IV Full Restoration

By Dave Price • May 7, 2026
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.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Houndstooth Retrim

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.

This Ferrari 488 GTB came to d:class for a steering wheel retrim, despite only showing light signs of wear. Having recently changed hands, the new owner wanted the car to feel completely their own. Starting with the one part you touch every time you drive. A fresh wheel makes all the difference, complemented by the installation of new steering wheel buttons to complete that factory-fresh finish.
