My son has won awards at Pebble Beach, Amelia Island an most recently at the London Concours and he’s done a few 911s, mostly for customised interiors for fashion types. Www.RichardJames upholstery.com he’s on Instagram too. He did my 356 but with a kit from Lakewell.com

He even did Princess Margaret’s Phantom IV, Nubar Gulbenkian’s taxi and Michael Kadoori’s 1911 Alpine Eagle Silver Ghost

+1 from me for Garry at Classicfx.

Along with being a top bloke and delivering really high quality work, he was up for ‘restoring’ my seats sympathetically rather than just re-covering them.

Worth a chat with him.

South Bound trimming only trim Porsche vehicles: as per original or bespoke. Usually a long waiting list to get work done which indicates how highly regarded their work is.

Worth having a chat with Matthew at Artisan (As per Bootsy`s suggestion) the work is top notch as he was the in house trimmer at Eagle E types for over 20 years.
