So I recently got an old Merc 300sd and the interior is in really rough shape and needs to get replaced sometime soon. Should I keep the materials and colors the same or go with something different. I'm also tempted to remove the clock from the instrument cluster and replacing it with a boost gauge. I'm wondering what I should do in order to keep the cars value high so later on I can hopefully sell it for the same or more than I bought it for.
Definitely not the boost gauge then. Try to keep the interior color the same, cars look surprisingly weird when the front seats are one color and the rear are another color. I had an old W126 300 SE with all seats beige except the gray driver's seat. Always felt a little weird.
Pic related was mine until it got stolen :(

Don't put boost gauge within 10 meters of this car, holy kek.
Replace the interior, but I would suggest keeping it all stock. Basically restore it to clean and original if you want it to hold any value whatsoever.
What the hell is an S-Class driver supposed to do with a boost gauge? Up to a certain point these didn't even have rev counters. Because it doesn't matter.
Unhelpful /o/utist here
I have a 91 300te and I fucking love the way the interior looks. My vote is to go with the same color scheme.
Replace it with stock seats etc. Keep in mind this is pretty expensive to find the exact same interior tho, you may have to be patient
And forget about replacing the clock with a boost gauge, I know that Mercedes put shit clocks in their cars at the time but a boost gauge will just look out of place
