Client Feedback
"Great work Simon at 7trimming.
It wasn’t just the craftsmanship but also the ability and your deep knowledge of the Seven to spot and rectify the previous mistakes done by others, ie rebuilding the side screens and refitting and rejigging the hood frame. Top Job 👌"
Kevin Edwards - Austin 7 Chummy
“Simon Laxton’s upholstery work is exemplary. Jobs are well researched so that all details are correctly attended to. Simon also takes the time to explain the approach he’ll take and critically sticks to timescales and budget agreed for all work. He always exceeds expectations. I always recommend him.”
Harry Colledge - Colledge Vintage Engineering Ltd
"I’ve used this company, they tailor made carpets for my 1938 Austin Ruby, not only did they advise on colours they fitted perfectly, prompt service from someone who knows what they are doing can’t be beaten, I have no reservations in recommending this firm."
David Robson - MG & Austin Ruby
"I was recommended 7trimming by so many people I had to contact them.
Spoke to Simon who told of a contact who would collect my car.
So my very very scruffy hood which had been molested previously and all the interior which was again beyond use.
Simon kept in contact with me with lots of picture as he turned a wild boar into a very beautiful Austin 7 Pearl.
Changed the whole demeanour of the car with his outstanding skill."
John Bennett - Austin Pearl Cabriolet
“Simon was amazing to work with from
start to finish. He transformed my vehicle
as promised within a short timeframe
at an exceptional price.”
