I can recommend David Beswick Coach Trimmers here in Derby[01332 343252] He did a complete retrim and made me a new tonneau for roadster and has since fitted new hood and trimmed doors on my Cabrio.

Re: Soft tops

There is Lang and Potter in Plymouth, they made the hood set in the first place, and still have the patterns, mine cost ?233 last year. Hope you get sorted out Merv

Further to my previous entry-I actually bought the hood for cabrio from Lang and Potter,but had David fit it while he had car in for other work.Lang and Potter's tel is 01752 346346 and charged me about ?180 +vat plus postage[double duck type material]

Are you sure Ben?
Didn't you once (on the 'phone) give me the name of the original guy who made up the Marlin hoods? You had spoken to him and he was willing to start making them again if there was the demand...... or so my memory seems to recall. And he had the patterns....
