#1 Aldridge or other company recommendations

Post by No Quarter » Mon Mar 30, 2026 6:37 am

Hi there

I'm trying to find pretty complete set for the interior for my 64 OTS. A little more complicated with a 64, where parts are a bit of a mix of 61-63 and later 4.2 cars. Unfortunately the contact I have is not responding with what I need, I've tried now for 6 weeks to get a detailed quote, without success. I'll spare you the story, and since this is not about bashing, I won't mention his name. I'd like to turn it around, and ask here, if you dealt with Aldridge, do you have a name on a seller that gave you good, fast and accurate service (for a EU customer)?

Or other companies (not BAS)?

Thanks
Mikael

John Skinner? I think they are absorbing the EU tariffs at the moment.

I have found them very good indeed.

I used BAS. Just had my seats and console covered and the full kit. They did an excellent job and their service and knowledge was great. They worked with me to source the colour I wanted. Very happy with the results and I'd recommend Steve and his lads anytime.

MCT - Turleys. Excellent service and top quality. And a family business. Did a beautiful job on my FHC and I believe will do trim kits if you want. Ask them. MCTjag@btconnect.com
