Classic Cars magazine publish a "Directory of Specialist Firms & Services"
every year. The 1994 edition lists, for instance,
Creech Coachtrimmiing Centre
45 Anerley Rd, Crystal Palace, London SE19 2AS
081 659 4135
"Workshop for concours interior coachtrimming, worldwide mail order
and reatail shop of coachtrimming supplies. Rubber door seals, trim,
vinyl, carpet, felt, clips, screws"
I've never ordered from them, but am putting them on the list for when the
Bentley is ready for its insides.
This guide came with the issue of Classic Cars I bought last time I meandered
through Heathrow, last June. If you call the publisher (IPC Magazines, 071
261 5858) they might still have some.
I'm sure there are other firms but I can't type in the WHOLE booklet...it's
138 pages. Other likely firms are Coral Trim in cardiff, SJ Bowles Coach
Trimming in Birdport, and East Kent Trim Supplies in Deal.
