I have recently had the interior retrimmed, bonnet resprayed, dash retouched and seats reconnolised.

Everything "re" in fact.

Thought you might like a look. Interior looks like new.

The guy who retrimmed was very good and very reasonable. He is based in S. Beds at Barton Le Clay.

This is his contact details:

Russell at
Auto Interior
Unit 16 Barton Industrial Estate Faldo Rd Barton-le-Clay
Bedford Bedfordshire
MK45 4RP

Tel: 01582 882688

I think Pies is going to oblige with some pics of my car I sent him below....

That looks fantastic Alex.

After you posted Russell's contact details, I got him to make a new gear lever gaiter for me which I'm very pleased with (went for a colour to match the carpets, like you've done), so I'm sure you must be well chuffed with the retrim.

Now go out and enjoy the sunshine!

It looks the nuts mate - is it too rude to ask costs?

Russell replaced the footwell carpets, rear parcelshelf, some other panels, reconnolised the seats, made new gearstick and handbrake gaiters in green leather, polished dash and cleaned.

Cost was appx. £500

It took him two and a half days....

Hope that helps.

Russell did a fabulous job for me too.

I now have Rolls Royce heritage Gear Lever & Handbrake Gaiters. (well, off cuts anyway!)

Highly recommended and extremely helpful.

Cheers Craig
