1971 Rover P5B

We recently worked on a 1971 Rover P5B Coupe in our workshop, a vehicle originally styled by David Bache. Despite being highly competitive in the UK car market, these cars had interiors that exuded the elegance reminiscent of a Rolls-Royce.

​

Both the customer and I shared a common goal – to restore the car's flair. As evident in the images below, the seats were in a near unusable condition, marked by deteriorated foams and worn covers. To address this, we opted for a comprehensive retrim of all the seats, a task I undertook in-house.

​

The decision was made to adhere to the original specifications, ensuring correct pleat widths and employing traditional fitting methods that I am well-versed in. The result is a job that both the owner and I are immensely satisfied with, successfully breathing new life into the interior of this iconic 1971 Rover P5B Coupe.
