Retrim advice needed
Discussion
My car is having a major over winter fettling. It's currently with Joolz having every it's mechanicals sorted then it's off to RT for a body off chassis refurb. I then plan to have a full retrim so I'm looking for first hand recommendations of suitable people to do the job. It's a dear job and I want to be sure I'm not some thousands lighter and disappointed at the end of it.

D&C Trim is the go-to place for that from what I've heard. I think they're ex factory employees and know everything there is to know about TVR interiors. Might be a bit of a waiting list.

Got my Griff retrimmed back in September by John Giddings (Trim Technician)
Well pleased with the results, pics via the link on my profile.
Took a bit longer than planned due to unforeseen circumstances, but was happy with the price.
I think you'll find a Cerb to be a bit more expensive than other models whenn it comes to interiors - a bit more work involved for a full retrim and a lot more complex dashboard.
ETA - just seen your profile Fatjon - that is some collection of motors!

I have to say that the pics of the Central TVR retrim on their site are pretty impressive, they are also a grand cheaper than my earlier quote. But pictures can lie. Anyone around who has had work done by them and can vouch for the quality?
The John Giddings job is also pretty good so that one is in the mix too.

Central TVR.....checkout the red Cerbera SP6 on their website,i have seen that car,its Adrians own car and the interior is superb.Also a buddy of mine has had his Cerb re-trimmed there in a similar style and its spot-on.
I have just had a great deal of work done on my Cerb there including a full set of new wool carpets....great job.

Maybe a bit late but would suggest you look at Trim Unique.
Lee worked at TVR from 1995. He was a specialist Cerbera trimmer for 5 years and was selected by Peter SWheeler to trim the Motorshow Tuscans.

What you doing sniffing around the Cerb forum? Is there a purchase in the offing? Let's tie up soon ! I've spent most of this year in Finland but Q1 is back in blighty. Heading up North for Christmas but back on the 28th if you're around for a tipple ?
