We couldn’t be any prouder of presenting to you the behemoth Mercedes-Benz W200 600 Landaulet. One of only 59 ever built and 50 of those having roofs made to the c-pillar. This example originally had African presidential ownership. We have carried out over the last 9 months, a very thorough and detailed restoration of leather, chrome and wood trim, plus a bespoke convertible top and liner. The interior is fitted to original exacting standards in a new shade of old timer 641 Dark Red leather which just oozes class and luxury. This car has had time and care bestowed upon it to deservedly bring it back to its true former glory.
The preparation to take a car that was completely custom made in every way, to then carry that same procedure and finish again years later is something that we strive on here at d:class. Three of our team members are trained to make soft tops completely from scratch with every required detail.
There are three parts to the soft top of this 600 Landaulet. Once the inner liner is trimmed and fitted an insulated inner padding comes next, hiding the listing bars, keeping exterior noise to a minimum and adding depth to the outer finish. Completing the look is to ensure that it follows the profile of the metal roof as closely as possible without it looking all puffy and big. We hope that you agree that it does just that and it’s proportions are spot on as to how it should be including that large rear screen.
The long detailed process of assembling the 600 Landaulet dash is something not to be rushed. Beautiful old timer leather, new chrome plating, renovated wood and new dash parts and stereo system. Put together with care and precision to give back that original Mercedes hand built quality of it's day. It goes without saying the efforts to trim the dash parts to be wrinkle free around the curves and the dash binnacle joins to be faultless are something we are accustomed to.
