Classic Car Trimmer,

[TimS996]

Can anyone help with a recommendation for a classic car trimmer in Cheshire/Staffs or South Manchester area?

Found plenty of trimmers who can cover a Range Rover in more leather but not that I would trust to do an old car in fabric. Time to lose the grey velour and retrim it in somethng a bit smarter.

Interesting stains on the drivers seat!!
I do like a Matra Simca though, proper mad car!

I did use a good trimmer in macclesfield but in leather but he does a lot of sofas as well so might be good, Don't know if he's still on the same number though. I will PM his details.

If you find a Furniture Clinic near you they should be able to do that as it's a fairly straightforward job for them

Ha!, no stains on the seat just threadbare and through to the underfelt.
Long since needed doing but was doing so much to the engine and mechanicals I didn't want to run the risk of ruining it.
Now I'm just trying to get teh whole thing updated a little before a respray

Not many that are any good will be available for at least 2 months, if they are there is a problem!

One of the best is David Haden 01543 375437 checkout his website. His address is 59 High St Walsall Wood Walsall WS9 9LR. He does not work Monday. He as also featured on CAR SOS and Wheeler Dealers.

There is also Aldridge Trimmers in Wolverhampton highly recommended

Lovely Matra, Tim.

I used to work in the SOS Workshop. Agree that Haden is excellent, but would also point you towards AJ Retrims. We used AJ a lot after Cliff 'left' Aldridge - well worth giving him a call. His work is excellent and surprisingly affordable to boot.

Having used them for a few years, so may be out of date, but try Peter Lenton in Cheadle

Try Optimise Automotive in Staffs, I've used them for some smaller items but have seen their work on revamping complete interiors which is excellent...
