Players Classic 2023

Harry Pitcher • June 21, 2023

It is that time of the year once again, the time when Players Shows takes over Goodwood Motor Circuit for their Players Classic show. This year saw Players Classic celebrate its 10th anniversary of the show. Kenwood and JVC kindly invited us to be a part of their trade stands again, showcasing our Build Battle Mercedes-Benz 190E and Toyota Celica. This year was the first time the Celica has been to Players Classic, showing off it's audio build, drawing in a crowd.

There was no shortage of outstanding vehicles on both stands, including a Mitsubishi Evo, a Volkswagen Golf R Mk6, a Volkswagen Beetle, an Audi TT, and a Volkswagen Amarok. All of which were heavily modified and represented Kenwood or JVC technologies. But saving the best until last is the JVC Toyota GT86 with a Rocket Bunny V2 kit.

Players Classic is one of the, if not the, most diverse modified car shows of the year. The cars selected come from all walks of life, from Japanese hill climb, to American "Donk", there is a bit of everything. So as a little insight into the show, please enjoy some of our favourites.

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.

Ferrari 488 GTB Wheel Retrim

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.
