Leather repairs, restoration & recolour

At Classic Collective total re-trims are not the only solution. More often than not we can totally transform the interior of your car without the need for new materials or a complete strip. Our in house classic car upholstery team use ‘Gliptone’ products which help us to:

• Repair cracks and splits in leather and vinyl
• Repair holes in cloth and carpet
• Carry out colour restoration on leather and vinyl
• Carry out complete colour changes on leather and vinyl

However if the interior of your car is well past its best or you want to change it more to your tastes then we can certainly help.

Complete retrims

You can often buy seat covers and door cards directly from your specialist parts supplier. They promise to be ‘great quality, easy to fit and cost effective’. In our experience, they are anything but! The reality is that they are made of average materials and they never quite fit! 

The good news is that we can make you a bespoke set of seat covers, in grade ‘A’ materials and tailor them to your car. Almost always within the budget of a mass produced kit and the time taken to fit it. We use materials that are correct for the age and style of your vehicle, not just those that are the easiest or cheapest available. 

This will give you the very best, most stylish finish to your interior. Whether you are looking to replicate the original factory finish, improve on the original quality or want a completely bespoke interior we can help make your vision reality.

Bespoke carpet sets

We make all our carpet sets in house, specifically for your vehicle. We use 100% wool, automotive carpet.  The tailored finish means that they fit perfectly and do not ‘ride up’ around complex areas such as seat runners and pedals. 

They are either wool bound or edged in leather, vinyl or cloth to your taste. We can even sew in rubber or vinyl heel mats. 

With over 20 different weaves and colours at our disposal the finished article gives a quality look and feel that you won’t find in a mass produced carpet set.

Headlining

Often overlooked, a quality replacement headlining can be a game changer for the look of your car’s interior. If your headlining has become detached, sagged under its own weight or is just plain filthy we can replicate the original factory finish or create something unique.

Jaguar's from the 70s through to the modern day suffer from this more than any other vehicle. We have pre-made OEM fabric boards available in a matter of days. Replacement is quick and very cost effective.

Convertible roof replacement

We partner with two major UK based hood manufacturers and can supply and professionally fit them to your car. 

If a new hood is not available or won't fit because you have changed seats or added a roll bar, then we can make one for you in our trim shop.  A new hood will simply transform the appearance of your car.

Classic bucket seats

We have folded aluminium seats frames made which have been ergonomically designed to provide supreme comfort and yet look absolutely period correct.

They are constructed from 3 laser cut, 5251 Aluminium sheets and fully TIG welded to assure dimensional precision. They are super light weight with the frame weighing less than 4 kilos and very strong.

4 floor mounting points located on the base plate to allow for flat fixing and we can even supply a selection of runners to allow for seat adjustment.

They can be left in 'bomber style' or trimmed in house to your taste.
