Auto Upholsterers

Can anyone recommend a good quality upholsterers in the south of England?

Unfortunately Southbound are fully booked and are unable to turn around my rear seats in time, any other suggestions preferably within 100 miles of Bournemouth would be great.

They don't need to be Porsche specialists and don't require porsche specific fabric, just leather, as I want the seats done in a non-stock fashion

I can get seats redone for you !

He has just re-done a recaro sport for a fellow DDK member from his RHD 73 S, and he is currently doing my single early recaro and my pair from the 70 S, I am having these done in leather also. Send me some pics and what you want done and I will get you a quote.

He is booked up for 3 weeks at the moment and his work is of a very high standard.

Is the guy you know a guy who lives in or close to walisdown or charminster area i forget wuite where but when i lived in bournemouth a few years back a friend had his seats done (actually the seats in bootsys car the 356 replica) but have lost the contact name and number of the guy. If it is the same guy he had a workshop out the back of his house could you pass the info on to me about contact details, looking to have the seats done in my 14 and a friend wants his 911 seats redone as well.

Many thanks

Hi David,

I think you are referring to another guy (also called Alan, whom lives in near Winton) he used to do construct the interiors of the Chesil Speedsters. He did the beige seats in my old 911 S. The guy I am now using is a classically trained upholsterer whom until a year or so ago worked on antiques, he is really very good hence I am now getting 3 more seats done.

If you still need Alan’s number let me know as I still have it.
