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 Ferrari 488 GTB came to d:class for a steering wheel retrim, despite only showing light signs of wear. Having recently changed hands, the new owner wanted the car to feel completely their own. Starting with the one part you touch every time you drive. A fresh wheel makes all the difference, complemented by the installation of new steering wheel buttons to complete that factory-fresh finish.

This Porsche 911 Turbo S came to d:class for a partial seat and door card retrim. The customer wanted a band of grey Alcantara flowing around the seat base and back, matched as closely as possible to the car’s exterior colour. We were also tasked with recreating the debossed ‘Turbo S’ as an embroidered logo. Finally, the door card centres were retrimmed in matching grey Alcantara, complete with OEM-style stitch lines. Not a huge job, but a well-executed and highly effective OEM-like upgrade.

This is the second Porsche 918 Spyder to come through d:class for a steering wheel retrim. The reason for this one, however, is a little unusual. The previous owner chose to cut corners by hand-painting the racing band orange... hardly the right approach on any car, let alone one of this calibre. From factory, this 918 Spyder featured a distinctive neon green racing band, designed to tie in with other signature details across the car, such as the rev needle, rear badging, and brake calipers. Naturally, the new owner wanted this put right, and the car was promptly brought to us for a wheel retrim.
