TVR hoods

[u744261]

I have a 1992 Griff and the stitching has come away on the rear hood over a 10 inch length. In addition I think some of the hood fabric is no longer very strong where the window needs stictching in.

What are my options and how much will it cost? Can anyone recommend any good trimmers? Also similar question on the carpets which are a little tired now -can anyone recommend a good carpeter? I was quoted £850 for a new roof but that is a huge sum of money!

Many thanks,

Jonathan

Not sure which trimmers Peninsula use, but they have just put a new hood on my SEAC. They did the carpeting at the same time (all of it including the parcel shelf) - both couldn't be bettered.

Unfortunatly, it's so nice I think I might just have to save my pennies and replace the vinyl with a full hide interior.

I reckon if you ring round you could certainly bring the price down. Might be worth going along to a TVR Car Club meet and asking who other people have used and look at the quality of the work.

The stitching came away around the window panel on Chimaera - got it re-stitched all the way around for £120. The guy did an excellent job but he's based in Cheshire

PS: I saw your SEAC at Penninsula last weekend. V. Nice. My husband, Neil is rebuilding 400SE at the mo.

£120 for re-stiching a rear panel sounds a bit expensive. I got a new (perfectly matching)panel put into my car seat for about £50. I think the guy may do hoods too.

I'm in Rochdale in Lancashire, if anyone is interested I can find out if he does hoods.
