That's exactly what they did do with a large number of the DLAs. From memory the following DLAs had a full refurbishment inside including new seat covers, backs and full panel-work repaint: 4038/42/50/57/58/59/60/61/62/63/64/65/73/74/82/94/98/99/141/42/56/58/60. There may be more. All of these had a lot of money spent on improving their interiors and looked absolutely spot on when first brought up, contrasting greatly with those that had minimal interior investment (like 4143).

The second batch of VLWs do look decent internally - a lot better than the 4200-05 set ever did and the DLPs aren't too brilliant inside either.
