Yep - I used them for the replacement wood in my car. I started talking to them at their stand at the NEC show where they had a display of different wood finishes. They also had a show special price reduction. I wasn't quite ready to make my purchase there and then but the guy offered me his card and invited me to contact him when I was ready. He also said he would honour the show price. A few months later I contacted him via email, reminded him of our conversation and ordered replacement wood in burr elm. Sure enough he let me have the show price deal. Furthermore, my car was being re-trimmed in Norwich so I asked if he would deliver the wood direct to the trimmer which they did, at no additional cost I seem to recall. In addition, I have an electric aerial which is operated via a toggle switch between the two windows buttons. I sent Classical Dash a couple of photos and they drilled a hole in the replacement wood, explaining that it was better done before the laminating process - again no extra charge. The fit and finish was perfect. Three years on and the wood is as good as the day it went in.
I included reference to Classical Dash in my blog. http://maddesthouse.wordpress.com/20...-ive-got-wood/ -
Yup, l read your blog last year. Your car looks really good. I have called them at least 4 times and emailed on their web page.......called again this morning and still no answer. What is it about classic cars that l'm always reading about companies that never return calls from potential or existing customers .......Comment

That's weird and not consistent with my experience of them, but it was a couple of years ago now
Good luck. I hope you get a response soon.

See post 33 on http://www.stag.org.uk/forum/showthr...light=trigbush
I had my dash done with them. There was a delay and there were communication problems. But the result is lovely. Rather happy with it...Comment

Why not give it a go yourself. as a technical numpty I did. Bought a strip of peel and stick veneer and with the help of my father in law stuck this to the dash. Carefully cut the holes for the dials etc then spent three weeks adding copious coats of satin varnish. Cost £30 for the veneer £20 for the varnish plus time
I bought the American Walnut from these guys http://www.thewoodveneerhub.co.uk/Pe...c20/index.html

That looks great Phil, really good. Looks like real wood, well done.
It's cutting the holes that worries me as the dials don't overlap any bad edges do they?
Well doneYellow Rules OKComment

It is real wood veneer
cutting the dials was slowly slowly and make sure the blade was sharp
