The complete suite of walnut interior trim including the full dashboard has been beautifully restored by well respected
Rolls Royce wood trim specialist Silvercrest at great expense.
The complete front bench seat has just been fully re-trimmed in St James red leather by a Rolls Royce trained trimmer at over £2,000.
