If anyone has any recommendations for leather retrimmers in the south east, that won't charge stupid money (i.e. are the folk who do the work that the tuners use and mark-up hugely), please could you let me know?

My Morgan has a boring black interior, and I'd like it re-trimmed. It's not a huge expanse of leather, being two seats, door cards and a steering wheel. And yet the sight of an Aero 8 seems to make everyone think that £4k for a Nappa re-trim is reasonable. It isn't.

I would rather give my money to an independent who does good work - any ideas (preferably London/Essex/Kent)?

I'd recommend Trim Solutions in Sittingbourne/Dartford. Very reasonable and excellent quality.

Search for them on FB.

Tove trimming in Towcester did some work for me many years ago.

If they still exists, highly recommended.

These guys are based near Bedford, are Morgan dealers and do trim work for all types of vehicle (Lotus factory through to pre war Astons). They're not the cheapest but the quality of their work is second to none - http://www.allonwhite.co.uk/Home/

Bernard Newbury, he's in Leigh-On-Sea and is hands down one of the best trimmers around. Don't be put off by the fact he's trimmed 100's of show winning cars, he's very good value for money. He's done a few of my friends cars now, and I'd have him do mine in a heart beat. www.bernardnewbury.co.uk

I was looking for a cheap car and went to look at an old MK3 Golf GTi.. the guy selling it did custom interiors and he'd done this golf.. I was very impressed with the interior and I think his prices would be very reasonable.. the guys name is Jeff, based in Wickford - 01268 560 760

family business also seems to operate in Canvey Island - http://www.grovecoachtrim.co.uk
