It has been a while since we have completed a full interior retrim on a Pagoda W113. As we find ourselves doing more and more business-to-business work, private restoration work like this has become more of a rarity. We adore the Mercedes-Benz Pagodas, and it is immensely satisfying knowing that this restored vehicle will be back on the road soon with a d:class interior.


This W113 arrived to us straight from it's respray where it is now sporting a dark metallic grey paint. The customer chose a lovely soft red leather interior. The specifics of which are as follows; Dark red old-timer leather with basket weave seat centres. "Rabbit ear", or more commonly referred to as "Cat ears" in the UK, headrests, door cards, dashboard, A-Pillars, deck lid cover, under dash, and kick panels were all retrimmed in this leather. Red twin-loop carpet has been used with leather binding and we also installed a new black hood.

As mentioned in the Seat section, all of our lasering was accomplished by Chris and Marc from Formation Industries. The tartan pattern was a perfect replica, even the shape and texture of a real piece of tartan material was achieved... somehow, but that's Formation Industries. We have since had samples come through with this pattern in a variety of colours which we now offer as part of any retrims. We are not limited to replicating tartan, but have previously recreated houndstooth which was lasered into distressed leather for another customer. Got a pattern in mind? get in touch and we can make it happen. Not only did Formation Industries laser our seats, but this pattern was repeated onto the headlining and door cards. The dashboard saw multiple SRS Airbag emblems lasered into the dash top and lower dash panels. The floor mats also feature "SLR HDK" logos repeatedly creating a pattern.
