This Ferrari 250 SWB is the 9th in our collection which has received a full d:class interior. This one features a lovely Connolly Vaumol tan nappa leather. A darker tan than we have had before, this option was nicknamed "toffee" by the d:class team for its rich and warm tones. Tonal stitching where needed to keep things uniform and a lovely light beige Wilton carpet, presenting a rather homely and welcoming vibe. A nice change in pallet compared to the leather. We say it in almost every post, but we do particularly like this one.

One stand out feature on this SWB is the diamond quilting on the rear bulk-head. Also, the roll cage has some trimmed padding to match the rear parcel shelf. Not every SWB has the option of a roll bar selected, but on occasion we do see them. They make the retrim process a lot more challenging as we need to remove these in order to install the sound deadening, carpets, roof lining, and rear quarter panels. That all being said, they look incredible when completed.

This Audi R8 Spyder came to d:class for a steering wheel and gear selector retrim. Our customer didn't like the OEM Audi wheel as the perforated leather was not to their taste. After visiting our HQ and exploring options, the decision was made for black Alcantara and OEM red Audi stitching. The OEM wheels have a 'Baseball' stitch style, which our customer also didn't like, so they have opted for the popular 'link' stitch.

This AC Cobra is another full interior retrim completed as part of a vehicle restoration collaboration with Redline Engineering . This is the second project we have recently carried out in partnership with Neil and his team, and the specification for this one is truly something special. The customer requested a tan Connolly leather, and after working closely with both them and Neil from Redline, we settled on Parkside Caramel nappa leather. It was an incredible choice, the super smooth finish and rich colour work perfectly with the Guardsman Blue metallic paint. We then needed a carpet that complemented the leather equally well, so a biscuit-coloured carpet from Boyriven was selected. New dials and gauges were installed, alongside new seat harnesses.
