Players Classic 2023

Harry Pitcher • June 21, 2023

It is that time of the year once again, the time when Players Shows takes over Goodwood Motor Circuit for their Players Classic show. This year saw Players Classic celebrate its 10th anniversary of the show. Kenwood and JVC kindly invited us to be a part of their trade stands again, showcasing our Build Battle Mercedes-Benz 190E and Toyota Celica. This year was the first time the Celica has been to Players Classic, showing off it's audio build, drawing in a crowd.

There was no shortage of outstanding vehicles on both stands, including a Mitsubishi Evo, a Volkswagen Golf R Mk6, a Volkswagen Beetle, an Audi TT, and a Volkswagen Amarok. All of which were heavily modified and represented Kenwood or JVC technologies. But saving the best until last is the JVC Toyota GT86 with a Rocket Bunny V2 kit.

Players Classic is one of the, if not the, most diverse modified car shows of the year. The cars selected come from all walks of life, from Japanese hill climb, to American "Donk", there is a bit of everything. So as a little insight into the show, please enjoy some of our favourites.

Porsche 918 Spyder Steering Wheel Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • April 23, 2026
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.

Ferrari 328 GTS Interior Repairs

By Harry Pitcher • April 22, 2026
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!
