EOW 1W MATRA 1.9 RESTORATION

[TELBOY]

Just took my seats to a re trimmer for a quote. £4000!!! Think I may leave it for a while lol

You could fit the tailored seat covers from Politecnic for a tenth of that.  See my article in the January 19 edition of the club magazine.

Just read your article and checked website...€312. Got to be worth a go. Will order them at the weekend. Thanks for the info

You will need another metre of the fabric to do the door cards and the fascia

Was goi g to get two Pete to do the back of middle seat too. I notice you cant order online so I hope my French is up to the job!!!!!

[suffolkpete]

The back of the middle seat is included in the set, as is the headrest.  I didn't try speaking to them on the phone , I emailed them.  They write good English, but you have to pay by international bank transfer.

Bonne idee.....lol

I missed that. I'll need to find the magazine and read your story. I like the idea of keeping the fabric interior, but Simon has for many years offered this solution - it's not checp, but it's cheaper than the 4000£ you were quoted, Terry: https://www.simon-auto-shop.de/epages/Simon-Auto-Anlasser-Lichtmaschinen.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Simon-Auto-Anlasser-Lichtmaschinen/Products/24082

Simon has the seats refurbished from ground up, as far as I know, and needs your old seats and trims in return for the new ones.

Thanks for all the info gents.
I have 3 sets of seats so for the first set I have emailed Politecnic to place an order for the DA6 type (red and black)
Once fitted I will decide if I like them and if not go down the "carjoy" route.
