Mercedes-Benz 280SL W113 Pagoda Full Retrim
Harry Pitcher • May 19, 2021
So here it is, our first finished project of 2021, a Mercedes-Benz W113. This vehicle had been previously trimmed using the wrong leather, wrong perforation and missing the finer details. Our customer chose to have the entire car trimmed using old timer, veg tan leather including period correct basket weave for the seat centres and leather piping. A rear seat conversion has been made from scratch allowing a third person to enjoy what a wonderful car this now is. Blue Twin loop carpet throughout, again all made in-house by our talented team. The wood and metal trim has also been refurbished back to their former glory completing this W113 project.

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.
