PW Cooper in Crewe 01270 251432. He did the dash, glovebox, handles etc on my Tasmin. Very happy with the results. The only problem you may have is matching both the pattern of the veneer and the look of the lacquer (amount/depth of shine)as the original bits.

Burr walnut I thinks. How poorly is yours, not something a local french polisher type could sort is it?

Chances are it's not a real wood anyway on a later car - most of them just had a Fablon wood-effect type of stuff stuck onto a steel sheet and given a few coats of lacquer to help the illusion.
My '80 Tasmin was real Burr Walnut on a wood background; my '87 390SE is fake as above.
