Mercedes-Benz 300SL Full Retrim

Here we have probably the prettiest car ever to pass through d:class' doors. The Mercedes-Benz 300SL which received a meticulous full interior restoration and retrim back in 2018. The car came to us with a tired but complete interior, ready for our team of trimmers and fabricators to tackle.

The Seats: we used old timer bamboo leather with period correct basket weave centres for these, accompanied with beige basket weave backs to match the carpet underneath. Tan seat belts with freshly polished buckles lay across these elegant seats.

The dashboard, sills, door cards, deck lid, centre console . A-pillars have all been retrimmed in the stunning bamboo old timer leather. Not forgetting this vehicle is an 'SL' the hood has also been replaced with a brand new royal blue one, perfectly fitting to the cars immaculate blue grey paint. Of course with brand new chrome poppers, keeping the hood nice and tight during poor weather conditions.

For the door cards we made sure to add the pleated door card centre pieces, to the correct OEM specifications of course. Hand woven leather grab handles too with polished chrome trim pieces. All dashboard metal works including the 300SL emblem have been refurbished or replaced to ensure the upmost detailed restoration possible.

As we write this blog post, we are yet to receive another 300SL Roadster or Gullwing through our trim shop. However, we are hopeful that we will soon as these truly are a piece of automotive art and history.
