This Ferrari F40 has been meticulously restored by the exceptionally talented team at DK Engineering. If you're familiar with the automotive world, you’ll know DK Engineering as a renowned name in the restoration, maintenance, race preparation, and sourcing of some of the world’s rarest vehicles. We’ve had the honour of collaborating with them on a number of exceptional cars over the years, this F40 among them.


Originally finished in red with matching red seats, this F40 needed a full restoration. That’s where we came in, because no restoration is truly complete without a fresh interior. The customer requested the seats be retrimmed in blue Nomex, which initially struck us as an unusual choice. That was, until we heard the car was being repainted navy blue. A bold and brilliant decision.

Onto the trim, as mentioned previously, we have used blue Nomex. Firstly, we had to remove the old covers and the damaged foams. Some repairs were required and new foams were installed to ensure a nice firm, round finish as per OEM standard. We then embroidered the logo onto the Nomex material, made up the seat covers, and then fitted them to the seats.


Not only did we retrim these seats, but we actually retrimmed the rest of the vehicle, including the dashboard, A-pillars, and more. These other interior pieces were retrimmed in grey Ferrari cloth. Not as exciting as the blue but still awesome and to OEM finish!

Another job completed and another happy customer. Sadly, we did not get to have the car on-site to photograph it, however, DK Engineering and Alex Penfold did. So enjoy the completed article below and be sure to follow both of them across social media platforms.

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.

This Porsche 991 911 Carrera 4S belongs to another customer who has recently seen the influx of Porsches across our socials and blog. They have also requested the very sought-after houndstooth seat centre retrim. They have selected a black and red houndstooth for their seat centres and door card centres to be retrimmed in. A great choice, that also matches the black of the car and the red of the seat belts and calipers. Whilst we had the car, our customer also opted for a steering wheel retrim. Nothing crazy for this one, just a like-for-like OEM retrim to the same spec. Black nappa leather with black stitching and black racing band.

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.
