Where to buy a new hood

Can anyone recommend a first class supplier and fitter of new hoods (soft top roofs) preferably somewhere near middle England.

How does Hertfordshire (not far from the M1 / A1M) sound?

Check Sue Miller as well. I got a hood cover last year & it's pretty good.

The Don Trimming Co Ltd is in Birmingham and their website, donhoods.com, is comprehensive allowing you to choose the material quality against the price. I bought a tonneau cover last year and can't fault the quality.

Are you going to swank at The Revival this year, haven't seen your car since 2007?

Don Trimming are a bunch of cow boys.

They were supposed to make a hood for me from pattern off a hood I supplied.

The cut up the hood I supplied and destroyed it to make the new one.

So I did not end up with a new hood and a usable spare.

Just one hood and a pile of scrap.

I would not go near them if they were the last place on earth.
