Mercedes-Benz 280SE W111 Full Retrim
Harry Pitcher • January 31, 2021
This Mercedes-Benz W111 cabriolet has been transformed into something quite fantastic at d:class. The vehicles front and rear seats have been professionally retrimmed in grained tan leather, with period-correct basketweave perforated seat centres.
Bespoke velour carpets and floor mats have been created to compliment the new look with matching leather binding. Last, but not least, we have the vehicles hood, which now boasts new headlining, foam padding and rear screen. The mohair cover has been reused due to its good condition. Lastly, the wood trim has been returned to its former glory making this W111 quite unique. #dclassauto

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.
