Part 4

The finished results.


We are proud to announce that the Lotus Esprit S1 project has been completed. It has been a tricky project with plenty of speedbumps along the way, but we are now ready to show you all the results of our hard work. We would normally say farewell at this point, but we will see this car again very soon for another d:class parody video, "The Guy Who Loved Me."

These cars are becoming increasingly rare, so restoring one to its former glory feels incredible. With it being a Bond homage car, it fills us with joy that plenty of people will enjoy this car for years to come. Not all


With a variety of Esprit series that followed after the first, we believe this to be superior with its mix of materials and colours. So when that initial email came through requesting a quote for a retrim, we were very excited. We think the factory interiors are fantastic, so no real changes were required, just replacing everything at a much higher level of detail whilst trimming around Bond's gadgets.

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.

This beautiful Ferrari 328 GTS came to d:class with a common repair job. Mickey mouse had moved himself in whilst the vehicle was being long-term stored, and fancied a diet of 80s Italian leather. This does happen with vehicles being stored over long periods of time, especially those who store their cars with vehicle storage companies near any farmland. So, the job was to retrim both seat bases, retrim the handbrake lever, both of the seat side trims, and some of the rear bulkhead trim. Who knew mice could have such exotic dietary requirements. Mickey wasn't very tidy and left a lot of mess, so we gave the car a clean inside and out, ready for the customer. We don't typically post this kind of work, but we are suckers here for a 1980s Ferrari, so we had to shoot it....and make a Fast and Furious parody clip. Enjoy!
