Enjoyment of your 107 is dependent on several factors. A mechanically sound engine and structure and an interior in which you feel comfortable, secure, and proud. The latter is not a requirement but just one positive outcome of taking care of your cabin’s interior. Taking pride in the preservation of your iconic Mercedes is something to relish.

Available for 18 years, the R107’s interior went through several incarnations, with changes made to materials as time went on. But two things remained untouched throughout this period – the spacious and comfortable configuration of each 107. But as with all classic cars, these once glorious elements become frail with time and require recommissioning to reinvigorate your passion for owning and enjoying your SL.

Signs your interior needs a revamp are extensive but some of the symptoms could include split, cracked or stained leather. These are obvious but ignoring them will only cause the problem to get worse and should you choose to sell your car, you may not get the price you want.

Original seats will lose their form after time, with the foam inserts suffering offering little to no support, resulting in an uncomfortable seating position and potential chronic injury.

Your carpets are on the receiving end of all manner of contaminants. Simply hoovering these will not show you the full picture. Bacteria will live in these areas and as such, should be replaced.

Beyond the soft materials in your cabin, are the hard woods and composites used by Mercedes-Benz in the seventies and eighties. The R107 marked a new era for the use of plastic inside, which can be found on the door cards, centre console, dashboard amongst other areas. Alongside this is the use of wood of varying colours and in up to ten shapes to sit according to the arrangement of your dashboard controls.

SLSHOP’s onsite restoration centre is a hub of knowledge and craftsmanship centred around restoring your interior to unrivalled standards. Whether you want your interior restored to original specification or fancy a change, we can help you design your ultimate interior specification. This could include a change in leather colour from Beige to Blue, the incorporation of alternative materials such as Alcantara, or even a transition from Zebrano wood to Burl. Whatever you decide, we stock all the essential replacement interior materials on site to recommission your cabin.

Reviving your interior will completely change your understanding of what it means to enjoy and drive a classic Mercedes-Benz. You’ll feel and look stupendous, comforted by the fact that your seat is firm, compliant and in a state to enable you to drive hundreds of uninterpreted miles in heavenly comfort.

With a better than new cabin condition, your 107 will now withstand years and years of use; also appealing to any potential buyers should you choose to sell your 107. A revived interior will enable you to command a higher sale price given the rarity of other examples available with better than new interiors.
