Mercedes-Benz W100 600 Landaulet Full Retrim

Harry Pitcher • October 4, 2021

We couldn’t be any prouder of presenting to you the behemoth Mercedes-Benz W200 600 Landaulet. One of only 59 ever built and 50 of those having roofs made to the c-pillar. This example originally had African presidential ownership. We have carried out over the last 9 months, a very thorough and detailed restoration of leather, chrome and wood trim, plus a bespoke convertible top and liner. The interior is fitted to original exacting standards in a new shade of old timer 641 Dark Red leather which just oozes class and luxury. This car has had time and care bestowed upon it to deservedly bring it back to its true former glory.


The preparation to take a car that was completely custom made in every way, to then carry that same procedure and finish again years later is something that we strive on here at d:class. Three of our team members are trained to make soft tops completely from scratch with every required detail.



There are three parts to the soft top of this 600 Landaulet. Once the inner liner is trimmed and fitted an insulated inner padding comes next, hiding the listing bars, keeping exterior noise to a minimum and adding depth to the outer finish. Completing the look is to ensure that it follows the profile of the metal roof as closely as possible without it looking all puffy and big. We hope that you agree that it does just that and it’s proportions are spot on as to how it should be including that large rear screen.


The long detailed process of assembling the 600 Landaulet dash is something not to be rushed. Beautiful old timer leather, new chrome plating, renovated wood and new dash parts and stereo system. Put together with care and precision to give back that original Mercedes hand built quality of it's day. It goes without saying the efforts to trim the dash parts to be wrinkle free around the curves and the dash binnacle joins to be faultless are something we are accustomed to.

T his Porsche 992 911 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 sort-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 callipers. 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.

This Porsche 911 Turbo S came to d:class for a partial seat and door card retrim. The customer wanted a band of grey Alcantara flowing around the seat base and back, matched as closely as possible to the car’s exterior colour. We were also tasked with recreating the debossed ‘Turbo S’ as an embroidered logo. Finally, the door card centres were retrimmed in matching grey Alcantara, complete with OEM-style stitch lines. Not a huge job, but a well-executed and highly effective OEM-like upgrade.
