      I recently redid the interior in Ultraleather. Was tan and now it's about the color of a football. Note the e-brake is relocated to the passenger floor and the speakers are gone (relocated under the dash). I bobbed the center console.
      Also removed the original HVAC unit and replaced it with a Heater-only unit from Vintage Air.

              Thanks guys. It was pretty involved but I need a "Winter Project".

              Actually I've always wanted to dump the A/C unit in the cockpit and replace it with a larger heater so it would be more enjoyable for Winter and early Spring driving.

              Once I started removing the windshield, dash, and console, I decided to go ahead and make the interior changes that I always wanted, too.

                Fabulous job on the interior. Very nice upgrade. Send your pics to Don, he might hire you to improve the Abruzzi interior.

                  Now wait a minute. The Abruzzi interior is my favorite thing about the car. (excluding raw HP).

                          My vin is as follows!

                          VIN ENDS IN: (213018) 2005 ESPERANTE GT,Manual, triple black. This was a Canadian car that sat on the show room floor for 7 years; as some of you know I bought it October 2012. It ONLY had 533 Km ,returned to USA, CLUSTER/SPEEDO changed to MPH....rear end gearing changed, exhaust back to US specs , headlamps changed for better nightime use, wheels changed and a couple other things including Ipod connector, trunk light.

                          I LOVE THIS CAR! Dogdoc, Atlanta PS Hats off to JRD TUNING and JOHAN AND NICK!

                            Here are the numbers through 2006 when the EPA certification expired for the United States. We did do 1 additional vehicle in 2007 for Qatar where the EPA rules didn't matter.

                              My Esperante is a 2001 1P9PB48381B213045
                              Purchased "new" from the dealer in 2008 with 1116 miles on it.
                              Custom 3 stage Jaguar paint and chrome BBS wheels were the options.
                              I made a copy of the "Certificate of Origin", since I am the first titled owner.
                              It was driven by one of the owners of the dealership untill his GT 500 KR Mustang came in.
