Parks has since long moved on from that Lancia Flaminia job. He is now located at Galston, and has been responsible for some absolutely fantastic work. In the latest issue of the magazine Street Machine, there are a wide bodied Monaro said to be worth about a million, and also another Monaro (an earlier model), also totally restored to a 1000degree standard. There were about 250 exhibits at the recent Rosehill Racecourse Show, and the two Monaros'Interiors were both crafted by Parks and were awarded 1st and 2nd respectively. The wide bodied was best of Show, but the Green earlier model, was voted 1st with its interior. About two months ago, as part of a "WORLD WIDE" competition for Interiors, Parks received first price- world wide. He is no longer a trimmer - he has become virtually an Interior Car designer. I will have to dig out some photos. BTW, he and examples of his work can be found on Instagram. Regards Styria

Great post and read.
Thanks a lot Patrick. You may perhaps realize or have noticed that I personally look at refurbished interiors from the perspective as practiced by Parks. For instance, lining up pleats between back rests and seats is an absolute "must", yet I have seen many upholstery restorations where the trimmer has failed to meet that requirement. I guess that's the difference between virtually perfect and "near, but so far". Regards Styria
