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.

SLR HDK | Lasering

As mentioned in the Seat section, all of our lasering was accomplished by Chris and Marc from Formation Industries. The tartan pattern was a perfect replica, even the shape and texture of a real piece of tartan material was achieved... somehow, but that's Formation Industries. We have since had samples come through with this pattern in a variety of colours which we now offer as part of any retrims. We are not limited to replicating tartan, but have previously recreated houndstooth which was lasered into distressed leather for another customer. Got a pattern in mind? get in touch and we can make it happen. Not only did Formation Industries laser our seats, but this pattern was repeated onto the headlining and door cards. The dashboard saw multiple SRS Airbag emblems lasered into the dash top and lower dash panels. The floor mats also feature "SLR HDK" logos repeatedly creating a pattern.
