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 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.

This Porsche 911 Turbo S came to d:class for a partial seat and door card retrim. The customer wanted a band of grey Alcantara flowing around the seat base and back, matched as closely as possible to the car’s exterior colour. We were also tasked with recreating the debossed ‘Turbo S’ as an embroidered logo. Finally, the door card centres were retrimmed in matching grey Alcantara, complete with OEM-style stitch lines. Not a huge job, but a well-executed and highly effective OEM-like upgrade.

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.
