Are you for an authentic restoration for your Classic car?

Would you prefer the more natural look of a French Polish finish?

Does your restored wood trim look too shiny and 'plastic'?

If the answer is yes, then you've found the solution. At Classic Dashboards traditional restoration methods are used to bring out the beauty in your cars interior. Simon Lorkin understands that you are investing a lot of time, effort and money in your classic car. He knows that dashboard and wooden trim are the finishing touch and make an huge difference to how the interior looks and feels.

We are now based in Normandy in Northern France, having worked near Guildford in Surrey (England)for 13 years.

As ours is mainly a postal service where the dashboards are sent to us and returned to you by post it makes little difference to our customers from the UK. This is how it has always been for our customers from around Europe.

"The restoration methods that I use are traditional and appropriate for each dashboard. I'm passionate about conservation wherever possible and take great pride in my work. No items of wooden trim ever leave the workshop unless I'm 100% satisfied my work has been to the highest possible standards.

Traditional restoration methods take years to learn, perfect and take time to achieve, but it is well worth it to bring new life to the dashboard of someones pride and joy"
