Short of a re-trim of my steering wheel, for which I was just quoted £250+vat, does anyone know where I can get a replacement steering wheel (blue & cream leather)?

Obviously there are various breakers but the few I've called have no TVR parts, and eBay draws a blank at the moment.

250 is way too steep for a retrim. As Scotty said D&C who are regarded as among the best but there are other reputable companies who will beat that price.
Alternatively Bell Hill garages have some now and then which would be cheaper still but not sure on the condition of these and of course they may not have your colour.

I'm starting to get the feeling that perhaps K Baggs where I went for a quote have way too much business, and little local competition, so they are just quoting silly prices, on the basis that they are getting most of the business.

I think I'll shop around....

I have a blue and cream one from a car I'm breaking. Only done 29000 miles from an 02 plate. All the buttons still have their decals on them and it's in extremely good condition. Pm me and I will send you pics. Also have a full mk2 interior minus front seats if you are interested? It's all cream. Carpets are blue if you need them also?

I noticed you have been quoted £2000+vat for the 2 front seats, that also sounds expensive!! I thought the going rate was nearer £600 per seat??

There were only 34 Cerberas registered in 2002! Getting rarer by the day

Had mine done last year, cost me £150 from D&C Trim.

Wheel was black at the top and previous owner had got the wheel painted which looked shiny & horrible. John at Sussex TVR got me some stickers for the buttons just to finish it off, heres mine...

Scotty and cerbera8 your steering wheels look great!!

But I'm going to have to spend less time on here, everytime I log on I find something else I want to do to my car!!! Just as I thought I was happy with it and thought I had came to an end of my spending at least for the summer!!

Please can no one post up any pictures of newly upholostered drivers seats or anything that is made out of Carbon Fibre for the next six months!!!

Racing Green have them for about 60p per sticker. Racetech also do them, which is where I got mine from.

I will post a picture of them up first they may not be to your taste but work well with all my white leather. wink But i am sure i could post you a set and keep one spare set for my self as they cost me nothing to have them made.
