CLASSIC MERCEDES-BENZ INTERIOR RESTORATION (1970s & 1980s)
Enjoyment of your classic Mercedes doesn’t simply depend upon mechanical performance. An all-round enjoyment experience is reliant upon a comfortable, functional and lively interior that looks just, smells and feels just as good as the exterior. Beyond enjoyment is the value of your vehicle. A classic Mercedes-Benz with a beautiful and complete interior is one that is more likely to hold, if not exceed its value.
SIGNS OF A WORN-OUT INTERIOR
You could have cracked or ripped leather, stained or discoloured cloth. The form of your seats could have deteriorated, with little support offered by the base or back – this is particularly damaging to your posture and can make longer drives a chore. Carpets could be stained and riddled with contaminants that are both unhygienic and invisible to the eye.
Beyond the soft materials in your cabin, are the hard woods and composites used by Mercedes-Benz in the seventies and eighties. The dashboard and centre console could be cracked, or the wood could be lifeless.
”No better place to take your SL. Incomparable level of service, knowledge and understanding on R107s and well worth my 100 mile round trip to get my car seen by the experts. And special thanks to Mark for his specific support and communication on my car.”

INTERIOR OPTIONS
You have the option to make minor or major improvements to your interior. We’ll work with you to achieve your goals. We can help you restore your car to original specification or introduce new materials and colours to build something unique to you.
This change could be from Leather to Alcantara, from Red to Blue or even the choice of Burl Wood instead of Zebrano. Whichever route you decide, our team are on hand to help you reimagine your interior.
WHAT WILL IT DO FOR YOU?
Beyond offering you a sanctuary of comfort for those long drives? You’ll have an unrivalled vehicle in inimitable condition.
WHAT WILL IT DO FOR THE CAR?
With a newly restored interior, your vehicle will have a secure future of usage. Should you choose to sell it down the line, you’ll be in a position to command a higher price as fewer cars will be available in such a high condition.
