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 Audi R8 Spyder came to d:class for a steering wheel and gear selector retrim. Our customer didn't like the OEM Audi wheel as the perforated leather was not to their taste. After visiting our HQ and exploring options, the decision was made for black Alcantara and OEM red Audi stitching. The OEM wheels have a 'Baseball' stitch style, which our customer also didn't like, so they have opted for the popular 'link' stitch.
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.
