I am looking to re-fit new carpets to my T350c and have spent a fair while trawling the internet. Can anybody recommend an upholsterers around Swindon/Chippenham. I know there is a company back up in Blackpool but don't fancy having to leave car up there for 4-5 days then go back up to collect.
Cheers
Graham

Graham

Not local but Oxted Trimming in Surrey are recommended by many. They would be top dollar, but would be my first port of call.

I've had some work done by Ricketts Restorations in Wroughton. They would be able to recommend someone I'm sure, as would European Classic Cars who are based in Avebury.

I have managed to find a company near Cricklade who used to do work for David Hendry, former TVR dealer, so thanks for the ideas. Will post how I get on, popping over to see them Tuesday.

Bloody hell graham you can get the carpets AND seats done for that cost by the experts - just such a shame it's all the way to Blackpool! Any one got a double car transporter???? Graham we'll have to split the cost!!!
