Upholstery & interiors

Seats, door panels, headliners, carpets. Materials and stitching consistent with the original spec.

Repainting of interior colours and bespoke restoration of every part of the cabin, respecting the vehicle's historical value. We start from the original materials, source the correct leather, cloth or vinyl, and rebuild with period-correct stitching.

Principles

The cabin is the place the owner spends time with the car. That is why we don't treat it as a detail: we source period leathers, cloths and vinyls, reproduce the exact stitching, and where a material no longer exists we have it reproduced to spec. The result is an interior that ages with the car, not against it.

"The cabin is where the car touches you. There is nowhere to hide behind paint."
  • — principio
    Period materials

    Leathers, cloths, vinyls consistent with the original. No modern faux leather on classic cars.

  • — principio
    Correct stitching

    Pitch, thread, piping: original scheme, not contemporary interpretation.

  • — principio
    Coherent finishes

    Plastics, woods, metals refinished or rebuilt with period colour and grain.

Frequent questions
Can more durable modern materials be used?
For intensive use we evaluate case by case, but on a classic we stay with period materials. Faithfulness matters more than convenience.
Is the steering wheel restored too?
Yes. Re-wrapping, wood restoration, recovery of metal finishes.
Do you work on convertible tops and curtains?
Yes, with fabrics and mechanisms consistent with the original.
