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.

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.
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.
