I've been told Newton Commercial are very Good as the frames are checked and fixed before hand. I've seen a completed leather set from them, I will be using them when funds allow.

These guys www.jmgrant.co.uk did mine, new cables, strip 2 front seats and rear bench, reclaim the centre stripe material and re-sew with leather bolsters, all done in 4 days and cost me a whopping £180 :thumbs:

When I was there, there were doing full full re-trim on a old jag, a e21 BMW, old mini and a camper van.

An estimate for both front seats and the rear bench would be £520 + fabrics, what type of original fabric you thinking of?

I should have my front seats re-done in leatherette back later this week which are costing £220 all in which I was happy with paying, the guys up here have an excellent reputation but are always busy… would have been less if had not wanted piping.  The back bench is original and almost mint so that's not been touched as are the door cards.

Ok well that would of been in leather which is a harder fabric to work with, with piping too plus that is inclusive of vat. Ive seen at least 1 person on here pay in the region of £1200 + vat for 2 front seats and a rear bench and i would of also done the door cards inclusive of that price.
