Default Any Older/Classic car interior restoration services over here?

Finding businesses/garages who specialise in the restoration of older and classic car interiors is fairly easy in the UK (UK classic car magazines are full of them), but I'm having a devil of a job finding if such services exist here is Spain.
Does anyone know of such a service over here and I know I'm expecting a lot, preferably on the Northern Costa Blanca?
Thanks.

Here in our village (Basque country) there's a garage owned by 2 brothers who exhibit some classic cars, one of which is their pride & joy…….a citroen such as in the Maigret detective series, with an H reg plate.
They might know of others; I'll ask them.

Thanks for that, much appreciated. I think the Citroen may be the DS. Very much ahead of its time and futuristic in many ways, but, to put it basically, a 'rust bucket' and so technical that it needed much maintainance, hence few if any are to be seen on the roads!
Thanks again.

Just been to their garage; he knows one or two down south, but wants more details:
*whereabouts do you live/the area
*what make/model of car
*do you want it 'restored like original' or put into working order, as there's a big difference in price (the first, 'restauracion', being more expensive than getting it in working order)

There are several Classic Car clubs on the Costa Blanca suggest you contact them and I am sure they would have information.

Maybe start here
