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 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.
This is the second Porsche 918 Spyder to come through d:class for a steering wheel retrim. The reason for this one, however, is a little unusual. The previous owner chose to cut corners by hand-painting the racing band orange... hardly the right approach on any car, let alone one of this calibre. From factory, this 918 Spyder featured a distinctive neon green racing band, designed to tie in with other signature details across the car, such as the rev needle, rear badging, and brake calipers. Naturally, the new owner wanted this put right, and the car was promptly brought to us for a wheel retrim.
