Leather Restoration

Good evening all!

I am having trouble locating an automotive leather specialist in the North Devon area.

Basically I'm re-commissioning my dads old Range Rover Classic that has been sat since 2008. The mice have had the rear seats beyond repair so I bought another Range Rover (long story) as it has good rear seats. Now they are the same colour and everything but the donor car has been smoked in and the seats aren't in as good a condition as I would like.

Being as classics seem to be holding their value at the moment I think it's worth spending the money on having all of the seats restored to make them like new. Can anybody recommend a specialist who can make the seats good again. They require no repair work I.e no rips or tears. Just re finishing i suppose?

Sorry for the long winded question

and thanks in advance

P.s I'm pretty fussy so am definitely looking for a top notch job. A bit of shoe polish just won't cut it

Concept trimming are in Devon. Were a site sponsor on here and their main business was vintage and prestige interior restoration.

I have seen their work including their defender and looked very good.

Have a chat with Westcountry Trimmers. I'm not sure if he does recolouring work but he's highly respected in the classic car world for his work and if he can't help might be able to signpost you to someone who can:

Well I have rung both companies, concept trimming aren't answering the phone and unfortunately West Country trimmers only do replacement and not restoration of leather. May have lined up a new headlining from there though! 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon
