Ferrari SWB 250 Full Interior Retrim No.8

On to our 8th Ferrari 250 SWB, and a red one has finally passed through our doors. From speaking with the company we trim these for, it seems a lot of their customers prefer specifying their vehicles blue as an homage to Stirling Moss' lovely 250 SWB. As much as we love the blue, it was a great change of scenery having a red one here, and with a phenomenal specced brown interior.

Chassis

Like always, these vehicles arrive with zero interior, just bare metal chassis' and seat frames. We then set about fabricating and adjusting all these panels and parts to fit perfectly. Once this has been achieved, we set about retrimming those parts and slowly building the car up.


Before any material can be placed down, we need to sound deaden the vehicle. We only use the best, and the best is Dynamat Europe. We are using two of their products on this project; Dynaliner which was used inside the roof, and in both driver and passenger footwells. Dynamat is the second and was used in doors, rear quarters, rear bulkhead, and tunnel. These products are great for preventing road noise and vibrations, making the vehicle feel much more solid and a more pleasant place to be.

Materials

This vehicle was specced to have a beautiful brown interior, and at first we weren't sure if the brown and red would be the best combination, but we were completely wrong. The brown and red really showcase a feeling of class and elegance, a more premium feeling compared to the other more track-focussed vehicles.


Brown Italian wool carpet was selected for all carpets and over mats, including the rear bulkhead. The leather seats, door cards, parcel shelf, roll cage padding, centre tunnel, and carpet binding were all trimmed in UK hide-supplied brown Vaumol leather.

Results

Below, see the results of this 250 SWB retrim. From here, the car goes back to our customer for final tweaks and any additional mechanical work. This being our 8th completed Ferrari 250 SWB project, enjoy our previous retrims in a variety of specifications.

AC Cobra MK IV Full Restoration

By Dave Price • May 7, 2026
This AC Cobra is another full interior retrim completed as part of a vehicle restoration collaboration with Redline Engineering . This is the second project we have recently carried out in partnership with Neil and his team, and the specification for this one is truly something special. The customer requested a tan Connolly leather, and after working closely with both them and Neil from Redline, we settled on Parkside Caramel nappa leather. It was an incredible choice, the super smooth finish and rich colour work perfectly with the Guardsman Blue metallic paint. We then needed a carpet that complemented the leather equally well, so a biscuit-coloured carpet from Boyriven was selected. New dials and gauges were installed, alongside new seat harnesses.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Houndstooth Retrim

By Harry Pitcher • May 5, 2026
This Porsche 991 911 Carrera 4S belongs to another customer who has recently seen the influx of Porsches across our socials and blog. They have also requested the very sought-after houndstooth seat centre retrim. They have selected a black and red houndstooth for their seat centres and door card centres to be retrimmed in. A great choice, that also matches the black of the car and the red of the seat belts and calipers. Whilst we had the car, our customer also opted for a steering wheel retrim. Nothing crazy for this one, just a like-for-like OEM retrim to the same spec. Black nappa leather with black stitching and black racing band.

By Harry Pitcher • April 28, 2026
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.
