    Craig is worth every penny you pay him. The leather on my Vauxhall Insignia was a £4500.00 option, the leather in this car makes it look like my car seats are made of lidl bin liners. I know your cars leather is a different price point, and, in my view worth every penny. Superb job, it just looks so gorgeous.

    I'm a car guy, former vehicle developer for GM's sporty cars, and also for Lexus, I restore a car each year, so I appreciate the metal bits of vehicle generally. However that's changed as I embarked on a project to reupholster a vehicle myself in leather - learning the ins and outs of this tricky and unforgiving material, buying my first sewing machine, essentially interviewing upholstery shop owners, etc. So, it is with this recent development in mind that I nominate Craig as the true hero of the shop on many of your projects. Interior restoration is the art, the driver experience that must be right. Driver and passenger spend very little time looking at the exterior, compared to having the interior to look at 100% of the time they are interacting with the vehicle. Bravo for putting this out, and for the love of craft, Craig.

    I don't think that car interiors - either in design or build quality - get enough attention. This is, after all, where you'll be spending most of your time. So it's a real credit to yourselves to show this interior in its standalone episode. The Espada isn't my favourite designed car but the interior is really a work of art. So often (too often) I feel it is the other way around.
    A real credit to you...

    "Old-school gentlemen", too-true and exemplary craftsmen to boot! I was never much of an Espada fan, but each time there is feature on them, I grow more enamoured by these fabulous GT cars and equally of the quality and attention to detail Iain and his crew bring to the task for, which the term "bespoke" is absolutely in tune with the car and its presence. I suppose one must blame Harry Metcalfe and his achingly beautiful Espada engine rebuilds which kicked-off Tyrells Classic Workshop for this, but what a joy to see this kind of content and to see the modesty of people like Craig as he works with an overlocker and a lifetime of skill applied to achieve astonishing degrees of perfection.

    I own a Lamborgini LM002 ,I got true a heritage from a family member who lived in Germany,unfortunately the car stood years in his garage, I have it stockpiled it know in a friend's garage, to make the car driveble its estimated it would cost a lot( I will not say the amount in euro),what I do know is where to bring it too...the craftsmanship, the knowledge and the honesty of Mr Tyrell and his crew is truly exceptional, thy fore it

    Funny how we tend to think that the world is getting more techy, but the future is reserved for those with firm hands.
