Frank, i can recommend Jeff Mussel & Sons based in godalming. They are an old fashioned, family business that have been trimming classic cars for decades. They are on Vic's list as surreycarinteriors

Again, they aren't the cheapest, but then the seat covers will need to be bespoke, so you won't get it "cheap".


Good luck

Dave at Southbound was seriously impressive.

They use Porsche leather, that is to say leather that is sourced from the same company Porsche uses.

They even have the leather sent to the same company Porsche uses to have the leather perforated in Austria.

He even has the official tool for embossing the Porsche crest.

It's just bloody expensive!

Thanks for all the links guys.

Brilliant thanks Vic.

Well it shows, your seats are stunning. It's one of those things you only get done once - if it's worth doing...

Tell me about it, what's funny is I was standing between the cows and the car... because naturally I would have caught it and thrown it out the way of the car.

Cowbell apocalypse! I like the way you bravely put yourself between the enormous cow and the car, I'd have stood back and started dialing the insurance co.

slightly OT but Frank is this the Ferrari you mentioned at Windsor? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_288_GTO proper exotic, designed to be a Group B racer competitor to the 959.

Well I couldn't face another 'curve' in the bonnet!

Yup that's the car! It looks even better in the metal!

I believe the Stelvio Rule is that any steaks you catch, you get to keep.
