Bella The Bus - Goodwood Revival

Harry Pitcher • September 22, 2025

Everyone meet Bella, a 1963 Volkswagen Split-screen Type 2 campervan, owned by team member Andy. Bella was invited by Goodwood to attend the 2025 Revival meeting as part of a 75 year celebration of the VW Campervan. The reason we are featuring Bella is because many years ago she received a d:class retrim for the front and rear seats. Baby blue nappa leather with cream leather binding to match the bodywork of the bus, To keep the seats looking period, we fluted the seats for that retro look.

As part of the celebration at Goodwood, all 75 split-screen campervans were invited onto the track each day for a 2 lap parade. There were many variations, in all shapes, sizes, colours, styles, and themes. From police vans, ambulances, fire trucks, decorated "hippie" buses, race team support vehicles, twin-cabs, single-cabs, and wedding vehicles like Bella.


We created some customised overalls for Andy to wear, featuring old-school style d:class logos front and rear, both with Bella illustrations created by us.

Ferrari 812 GTS | Part Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • January 21, 2026
A regular d:class customer got in touch after acquiring their new Ferrari 812 CTS, requesting some retrim work. They wanted to make the car feel that extra bit more special and tailored to their personal style. The red leather Daytona-style seats already looked great, but aside from the floor mat binding, no other elements in the interior featured red. From our years of trimming Daytona-style seats for Ferrari, as well as the likes of McLaren, we’ve found that these interiors often benefit from a more cohesive mix of colour and materials. The result is typically a high-quality factory interior, but one that can lack the distinctive details needed to truly stand out.
