Hi all.
Been thinking of selling the S. Have had lots of fun looking to see what could replace it, but then I get back into the old motor and the smiles make me want to keep it. Also met a great bunch of people on this forum so the sale will have to wait for another year or two.

So I decided to spend a bit of cash and have the seats refurbed, the dash, switch pack and door card pin stripes veneered. Hope you agree, looks a treat.
The chap who did the uphostery is semi retired (in his 70's and still works 6 mornings a week) Could not recomend him enough. He will re-trim anything but only if you can take it to him as he no longer works on cars, boats etc, only things that can be unbolted and can fit on his work bench. Also, he will not give a time to finish as it depends what he has on and how he is feeling. He did my seats in 3 weeks. He is based near Coventry in Nuneaton and works under the name of Pro Trim.
The veneer was done by Chapman and Cliff and was also a reasonable price and a top job. Preview does not seem to be working for me so hope the photos have come out? Cheers, Stew.

Thanks guys.
Dave, dash, switch pack and door pin stripes came to £295 plus postage at Chapman and Cliff. Nice people to deal with and I thought the price good as well.
Keith, sorry no more pics at present. Found the link though, your S looks very smart.
Cheers, Stew.
