Question

Earlier on in the year, a couple of owners found a good upholstery repairer. Unfortunately I can remember neither the owners nor the company.

Can anyone help please

Josh

Josh - didn't see the thread, might be worth scanning Classic and Sportscar in WH Smith or such, check classified, there are usually a few in there.

Thanks guys.

The one that was found was a mobile job, like dentmaster etc. The owner I was thinking of in particular went to the Prodrive Live event at the beginning of the year, and showed me the results.

I'd rather get someone round to the house if poss, but needs must etc etc.

Josh,

Where about are you ? I have a simply superb contact that you could use, who redid my whole interior in Alcantara. (He's MacLarens official retrimmer to give you a measure of the quality).

I'm in sunny Milton Keynes.

I've just got a small amount of damage that needs attention. Fairly small job really.

In that case probably a bit far. He's just of the M25 at Chertsey...

Josh,
I know of a place in Kempston, Bedford who operates out of a farm but does good work inc. leather stuff.
Will have to track down his address later today.

Ian,

The guy is called Mike Presgrave and he's actually at Fairoaks airport (between Chobham and Chertsey). The company is called Moto Trim @ Building D9 (West entrance), Fairoaks Airport. Contact number is 01276 855990. (by all means mention my name, Andy Hampshire, as i'm sure he rembers me )

Andy

Sorry, can't find his number (it was about 3 yrs ago) but the farm is on this link.
He is at Marsh Lees just off the A421.
Don't be put off by the place, he did a great job on an Audi leather interior and does cloth repairs as well.

Thanks for your help guys. I'll follow up a couple of these leads.

I guess the original guy has drifted away from Scoobynet.
