Mercedes-Benz W113 280SL Pagoda Carpet Retrim

Harry Pitcher • May 18, 2022

A common sight to see at d:class HQ currently is the number of Pagodas we have on-site. In spring we normally get an influx of vehicles such as the R129, R107 and W113 as we head into summer. Never before have we had seven of the same vehicle on sight, all of which are in various stages of restorations. Keep an eye out on our social media platforms and of course here on our blog for even more content and information.


This lovely example of a W113 came to d:class for a carpet retrim as the original carpet had become worn and deteriorated. We have replaced the original carpet with a grey twin loop and black vinyl binding to fit in with the rest of the interior. Additionally, the back of the seats have been trimmed also as these are carpeted from the factory. Last but not least, the interior metal trim has been polished up as these had begun pitting from their age. The rest of the interior is surprisingly in very good condition and did not require any further work.

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.

Ferrari 488 GTB Wheel Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • April 28, 2026
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.
