In this video we share the details and explain the process of an exciting project, completed by our Trim & Upholstery Department during the summer months of 2023.

The subject of the video is a fantastic Aston Martin DBMkIII Drop Head Coupe. A very rare car that has been wonderfully preserved, having covered just 36,000 miles in it's 65 year life.

Consulting with its owner, we agreed that the condition and presentation of the interior could be improved as it was not all entirely original and worn in numerous areas.

The project brief was then agreed; for us to carry out a full retrim of the interior, replacing all of the carpets and hides.

Referring to the original Build Record for the car, the correct, original materials were used; Connolly Vaumol VM846 (Tan) leather and Wilton 'Cinnamon' Carpet.

Having removed the original materials, the car was found to be in superb condition, making this project considerably easier.

The project took just over a month to complete, approximately 160 hours and was all carried out on site at Essendonbury Farm, our award winning premises in Hertfordshire, England.

We are very proud of the end result. The interior is now uniform and new but importantly, correct as per the original build specification.

Our fully equipped Trim & Upholstery Department, is highly experienced in all aspects of vehicle interiors including seat upholstery, leather, Alcantara, carpets, veneers, dashboard upholstery, and more.
