Can anyone help.
I need to find a good upholsters up in the north,I have had the seat away to a company in Blackpool who specialise in TVRs, They said the colour scheme is obsolite and there is nothing they can do and sent the seat back.
I have a late Tamora so the seats are out of the Tuscan. The colour is cream with blue on the seat and the back rest [I was told the best colour combination]so I find this hard to believe that there is no one out there that can do this job.
The bolster on the side is scuffed and there is a hole between the stiching on the seat so I see it every time.

Was it D&C trim you used at Blackpool? If not I'd give them a call as they seem to have a growing reputation on here. There is also a trimmer next to Torque RVT in Natwich but I can't remember there name,, they did some work for me on my Tuscan a few years ago and I was very pleased with there work. I'll post up there name when my memory comes back...unless any one beats me to it!!

If you want to chat to somebody local, give the guys at the Furniture Clinic a try:-
http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Contact_Us.htm
Located on Team Valley, Gateshead and advertise in Classic and Sports Car every month for both full leather refurb, and local repairs on car leather, not just your arm-chair. They did one of the magazine reporters Jenson Interceptor interiors recently and the results looked amazing. Also attended the North East TVRCC BNG a few years ago so will know what a TVR is.....

Martrim did my carpets, seats, doorcards and gaitors. Worth a try! Martin bought a whole load of TVR leathers so may have the right match. Really nice guy and very reasonable. http://www.martrim.co.uk/
There's a place called Holme Upholstery (think the website is HolmeUpholstery.co.uk) based in Huddersfield, they do bespoke furniture work and also car interiors. Plus I found out that the guy whose place it is (Ian) is a very proud Cerb owner. Did a cracking job on the leather work on the chair I made
Kish have been around for years, as far as I know they were set up by a guy who worked for Ikeda Hoover, now Johnson Controls, making seats for Nissan. He had left before I started but Andy W may know him.The guys name is Angus IIRC. Don't know if they are any good but wanted £850 to recover a pair of Griff seats.
Furniture clinic are not on the Valley now, they're in Burnopfield on the Hobson, they wanted £3-350 to repair and colour or £450 to repair and change colour

Hi and thanks for the help.
Diablo the seats are held in place by three screws two at the bottom and one behind the name tag then it just lifts out. The tag is glued in so you need to be carefull and ease it off and when you replace it you need the glue.
Kish have a good web site which tells me they are not cheap but if they can match the seat then a may be worth it. One thing I am confused with is the web site says they are on leechmere industrial estate but I got an email to say they have moved and are near the football ground has the company broke up?
Nemasis I have recieved no mail
