from childhood enthusiasm
About me
Following in my father’s footsteps
Born from the Austin Seven Era
In 1958 my Dad bought his first Austin Seven at the age of 16. He went on to own over 100 models in his lifetime and always did his own upholstery, as a hobby, on his industrial Singer.
Over the years I helped him out with his part-time restoration and took over an interest in trimming from around 2010 onwards, based in Yorkshire.
GOING FULL TIME
Going full time in trimming work in 2012, I’ve worked on over 200 cars and have a huge enthusiasm for accuracy and originality. I’m an Austin 7 specialist but will confidently work on all prewar and classic vehicles, please just call for a chat.
Where I am now
Now based in a 750sqft unit in my wife’s home county of Northumberland I offer a full and complete trimming service on all pre-war and classic cars. I can work either through the post or directly on the car in my fully insured workshop easily accessible by main roads near the beautiful Northumberland coastline. In this field I offer excellent value and lead times but all jobs require a bespoke service and quotation due to the variable requirements of historic vehicles.
