Jaguar XJ220 Full Retrim

Harry Pitcher • January 25, 2022

A piece of modern British automotive history in this post, the Jaguar XJ220. When this car was released in 1992 it was the fastest production car in the world, topping out at a mere 212mph when tested at the Nardo Test Track in Italy. 30 years later the XJ220 is still one of the most expensive production cars ever to be released at £470,000, and also still one of the prettiest.


This example is not totally standard, given away by the huge rear wing and the lack of concealed headlights. Keen-eyed viewers will spot that it is a Le Mans body kit, just lacking a racing livery. Now for the best part, an unbiased opinion of course, the interior. Tan nappa leather fused with matching tan Dinamica create the perfect blend with the cars green paint.

Starting with the seats, the seat centres were designed by us here at d:class as a homage to the XJ220's front oval grille. This pattern continues onto the door cards and centre console. The steering wheel has been hand stitched with matching thread, accompanied with an embossed Jaguar logo on the horn push.


The dashboard, lower dashboard, headlining, A-Pillars, B-Pillars, sun visors, gear knob, bulkhead panel, as well as all the smaller interior pieces have been retrimmed. Lastly we have the carpet which has been custom made with leather binding to complete this full interior retrim.

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.
