Not TABC VA seats

Post by jeffrey townsend » Sun Dec 30, 2018 2:57 am

Hi, I hope no one minds about a VA question. I met a relative at Christmas who is rebuilding a VA tourer that been in his family for about 50 years. The seats were lost in a fire at an upholstery company many years ago so he needs complete new ones made. Does anyone know who might be able to do this. I would have recommended Wm Collingbourn but I believe they stopped trading. Any guidance appreciated.

Thanks Peter. My nephew is in contact with SVW Spares but has been told that they have changed ownership and it is difficult to get clear information from them at present.  Regards  Jeff  Sent from my iPhone

Didn t know about change of ownership, Peter R . Was a great ,there is an other person in the Neatherlands need to find his phone#. Probably he knows about him also. In the USA there are not very common to see , so there are very few parts for this model. An other option is to find a [img]cid:7D8685D4-10F7-45C8-B5AE-E2959D64D922[/img] eplacement (not original)with Holdem vintage parts , of UK. It s a great car to drive . It s worth to do the restoration. Peter Mond
