Ferrari 250 SWB No.4

Here is a unique car we are blessed to be able to feature across our social media platforms—a Ferrari 250 SWB, which has been meticulously and beautifully restored.

This vehicle came to us fresh from its respray and exterior fit-up, ready for the interior retrim and fabrication from our very talented team here at d:class. The vehicle arrived to us with a bare metal interior, no door cards, seat frames, no parcel shelf, cantrails, and more. Some of the aluminium interior panels still required holes to be correctly drilled and installed.

In order for the trimmers to get to work, quite a bit of fabrication is required to ensure the entire interior is 100% correctly lined up and installed. We are fortunate to have two very talented individuals under our wing who create incredible work for these vehicles.

For all of our sound deadening, we use Dynamat Europe. We use them for all of the vehicles that come through d:class who require sound deadening. For this vehicle we have used Dynaliner for the headlining and floors. We have then used Dynamat Xtreme for the driver and passenger doors,

Seats are next, as mentioned before, they were just a metal frame upon arrival to d:class. We created bespoke seat panels from aluminium which were then riveted to the frames. After this, foams are next as we prepare to trim the seats.

We used Connolly Navy Blue Vaumol leather, supplied by UK Hide, for the bolsters and binding. This is a crushed grain old-timer leather to match the vehicle genre. The same leather has been used for the lower rear quarters, door cards, centre tunnel, gear gaiter, and roll cage padding. Blue corduroy seat centres which match the blue Wilton carpets, supplied by Boyriven. stitched flutes added to the seat back and base centres, matching the original style that Ferrari once created.

For the carpets in this Ferrari build, we selected Boyriven and their navy Wilton carpet. We have worked with Boyriven multiple times over the years and cannot recommend them enough. If you are a trimmer/trim shop, or looking at carpets to restore your pride and joy, please consider checking out their website; www.boyriven.co.uk The results speak for themselves.

Before any trim is installed to the vehicle headlining and cantrails, we have to ensure all Dynaliner has been fitted to the chassis and panels. This is a sound deadening which we have used on all other Ferrari 250 SWB projects. It is a lightweight deadening that is very simple to install. Celsus UK supply this, alongside Dynamat Xtreme, which is used for the centre tunnel, door cards and both footwells.

Once ready, custom-made metal rods are installed into the roof to enable the headlining to be fitted. The cantrails need to be adjusted to ensure a correct and snug fit, which are then removed, trimmed, and then reinstalled.
