Interiour retrim, how much is to much

[Miss VXTamora]

Thinking of having a interior retrim, Maybe just carpets (or if funds will stretch the full lot)just wondering what sort of costs should I expect to pay...

I have just got back in from a local upholsterer who as quoted me the following:

A: Full wilton carpet set leather bound £1300 :-( (boot carpets not inc.
B: Full int in leather excluding carpets & excluding costs for such as Autoglass to remove the windscreen & re install £3500 apr

I would imagine that having both done together may reduce the cost a little as I presume such as the seats & centre consul will have to come out for the carpets alone

Any thoughts with the above prices?

Any suggestions for a good upholsterer around York appreciated...

Thanks'

Price looks to be in line with others but there is quite a difference between a good re-trim and a cheap re-trim.

Have a look through this thread for inspiration and names of other companies with TVR experience.

There are a few (Dave the Trimmer, D&C Trim etc) who crop up a lot and there is a guy in Sunderland who has just done a very nice job on peteA 's Tamora towards the end of the thread. Good luck and let us know what colour / style you're thinking of

my tam is in with Dave the trimmer at the moment.

speak to him direct

he is very good, and not as expensive as you're current quotes.

Where is Dave based?

Your Tam looks to be similar age to mine; expect to find the steel plates on the screen frame corroded when you lift the screen out.

I have heard only good things from both Dave the Trimmer and D&C Trim.

I would think that either are well worth the trip as they know TVR's inside and out, quite literally.

With hindsight, I wish I had gone there for my retrim.....

I paid just under 4K for a re-carpet & full hide re-trim inc removal/replacement of the screen. Central TVR did mine but I also hear and have seen good things about Dave the trimmer down the road from me in MK

...just back from visiting my Griff at the Trim Technician (Poulton le Fylde, just outside Blackpool). They are about halfway through a full re trim for me. Quality of their stuff is superb, prices may be a tad cheaper than you've been quoted but a lot of it will be in the details (eg do you want your carpets trimmed with vinyl or leather? etc etc).
