About me

I started work, Easter 1969, having justed missed the swinging sixties. I went into the french polishing and wood finishing department at a high quality cabinet making company. Served a six year apprentice and three years at college part time.

Finishing car wood interiors was something that woodfinishes were expected to able to do. I had 2 Triumph vitesses at that time that were in need the woodwork refinishing this lead me into to specialising in car wood trim in the mid 80s.
I started making dashboards and door capping for Triumph Vitesses, MGBs and MG Migets, also doing work for TVR, NAYlOR Cars (hutson motor company), LEVANTE and a couple of other companies that restored JAGUAR Mark 2s, as well as the odd Rolls Royce (I was 19 years old when I refinished the interior of the first Rolls) and many other makes.
Moving on fast in time now to 2010, I started to restore my FULVIA S3, and found that the car had 2 left handed interior handles, so I decided to remake the dashdoard and new handles of wood in a burr walnut finish.
And there we have it! Check the photos
