The standard of veneer work performed at Rolls-Royce and Bentley generally has an excellent survival rate, and its longevity is a true testament to the craftsmen that produced it. The Polyester finish on the other hand, yellows considerably and eventually cracks, chips and peels over time. This is especially true in hotter climates where the wood is subjected to intense UV's and temperature cycles.
Stripping and refinishing will bring back the original beauty and rich colour of your woodwork, while the modern finish contains more plasticizers to help it remain flexible and resist cracking.
In the case of veneer de-lamination or excessive moisture damage, I can re-veneer the affected parts, including book matching and edge banding as per original.

Important:
I do request that all metal hardware, door seals, felt etc. be removed before sending in your woodwork--all except for the glove box lid latch and lock mechanism which can be left attached. These parts are better in your safe keeping 👍
